I chose exactly which character glyphs to compile into my swf by deleting all the unnecessary ones from the TrueType font file using http://www.high-logic.com/fontcreator.html. It cut the swf file size in half.

Another tip, Flash Optimizer http://www.flashoptimizer.com/ works really well with an embedded font, reducing its size by about 30%. This may make it worth the $99 price tag.

Hope this info helps someone!

@AWAIS – Not entirely sure it’s possible to just load and parse the .ttf (although it really should be) but if you load the .ttf you would have to load the entire font, whereas embedding it into the SWF at compile time gives you the option to specify a unicode range.

I suppose in these days of Broadband, it’s not a huge overhead to load the entire font, but I still think it’s wise to keep sizes of external assets to a minimum where possible for the sake of user experience.

I am little confused to choose a better method from loading embeded fonts swfs at runtime from xml(font-manager thing) or loading .ttf and its unicode range and embeding it directly

It would be great if you could publish a very simple tutorial with code.
