About font rendering methods in Flash Lite

To render text on a device's display, Flash Lite can either use fonts that are available on the device or use font data that is embedded in the SWF file. Device fonts have the advantage of smaller SWF file sizes but give less control over the font display. When you embed font data in the SWF file, you have more control over the font display, but it increases the file size.

For embedded font data, Flash Lite supports both anti-aliased and aliased (bitmap) text, which makes text more readable at small point sizes. You can also use pixel fonts from third-party font designers to make small text readable. For more information, see Font rendering methods in Flash Lite and Embedding font outlines in SWF files.
