Re: [Swftools-common] Re: swfc: font encoding?

[Leonhard Minutillo]

thanks for your answer.. but what  i thought of was not the encoding
of the text displayed, but how swfc handles the encoding of the .TTF font
itself, when converting a .ttf font so an swf font.. what does it need as
an input?  Adobe's original, ISO-Latin1, Symbol?
