Flash: Multiple Runtime Font Sharing Embedding with only Partial Character sets: How To.

Here's another example of runtime font loading, this time using html text, multiple flavors of the font library, in two separate swf libs, one with the regular font, the other with the bold, italic, bold italic flavors. Typically these would be loaded at different times, but this example should give you the basic idea.

The multiple font lib built by FlashDevelop + Flex 3.0 as "FontLibs.swf", being output as 'MyriadProExtendedFontLibs.swf', the one we created in the previous is now being loaded as 'MyriadProRegMinLib.swf'

package{ import flash.display.Sprite;import flash.text.Font;
