It sounds like the reason you won't be seeing all of the custom characters in Windows, and the reason their appearance isn't so good is because the characters are not all embedded in the Flash movie. The information above deals with the font glyphs for the basic 600 or so characters that make up all of the Latin language variants - if the Phonetic Alphabets' characters are outside those bounds then the code listed above probably won't be embedding them properly. - So although it looks like it works, its not catering for the IPA font glyphs? @John – Have you tried using the ‘All’ character set with the International Phonetic Alphabet?

This is a great and helpful post but I find it doesn't quiate address my need. I wonder if you can help? I'm trying to load the set of International Phonetic Alphabet characters, nearly all of which render quite nicely on my local machine (MacOS X), in any of various fonts including Arial, Lucida, Myriad Pro, as long as I don't embed the font. But many of them won't render in Windows. I tried your procedure as explained above, and it all appears to go as expected, but didn't change the way the font renders once I embed it. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should be reading to get deeper into this? Hi James. This is a great and helpful post but I find it doesn’t quiate address my need. I wonder if you can help?
