Flash: Bold Font Symbol

Hello.
My problem is the following: I have an external library with a particular font symbol, HEADER. This font symbol consists fo a normal and a bold typeface (I wanted to use the bold version, so I checked 'bold' int the font symbol properties box). I exported the library as library.swf (32kb)
In my main.swf I created the font symbol, with the same name: HEADER, linking to (importing from) the library file. This movie is only 4kb in size. Since I'm using an external library to fetch my fonts the main file remains 4kb.
Everything goes well as long I don't use the bold version of that font. If I check 'bold' in HEADER font symbol properties the file becomes 36kb in size, wich means it includes the bold version of the font itself. This is stupid because library.swf already has the outlines of the HEADER's bold version... I don't want to have every file that has bold in its text to be increased 32kb each. The file should remain 4kb...
Does anyone know a wait out of this problem?
thanks in advance,
T.S.
