right on dude. couple of things:
- i think jdiggity was referring to the common practice many have of typesetting everything in Illy, then bringing that into Flash, then producing the .sfw. not ideal when it is going to be in flash anyway, but illy allows for clarly more flexibility w/ typesetting than flash does.
- regarding the OS X/PC versioning thing; i had a friend who would use sIRF quite a bit, and would do this by having 2 different .swf's, depending on what browser/platform user would be using. he would sniff for the platform combo, then deliver the 'appropriate' .swf so the user would be seeing the file type that displayed 'best/most natively' for them. might have been overkill, but he sweared by it. so then, PC people would be served the .swf using PS1 type, and OS X people would be served the .swf using the .OTF/.TTF type.
again, might be overkill, but with Flash'd tendency to want to over hint type, it seemed like a good idea to me. just 2 cents...
