what would you do?
I have a pixel font which I want to use on a site. using it bumps my swf file size by 44 k.
there is about 20 small paragraphs of text that I want to use the font on. if I render the text as a bitmap and export to flash, each paragraph section is about 1.7 k, 20*1.7=34 k
overall saving of 10k or so.what would you guys do.. render the text or include the font? just curious..

is the text dynamic? if not there is no reason to include the font. flash will automaticaly include static text blocks at much smaller sizes than including the whole font.
-hope that makes sense.

or only include the etxt that you need from the font like all CAPS or that plus a few numbers, etc.

that makes sense .. thanks guys..
The text isnt dynamic.. nothing fancy going on..
I guess Im just too damn considerate for modem users/server loads etc.
