Remarks

When you publish or export a SWF file containing static text, Flash creates outlines of the text and uses the outlines to display the text in Flash Player.

For static horizontal text only, you can use special fonts in Flash called device fonts as an alternative to exporting font outline information. To do this, set the DeviceFont property to true. Device fonts are not embedded in the Flash SWF file. Instead, Flash Player uses the font on the local computer that most closely resembles the device font. Since device font information is not embedded, using device fonts results in a smaller SWF file.
