The secret of font selection in Flash

The

Flash itself comes with three kinds of Device Fonts:_sans (similar to helvetic and Arial), _serif (similar to Times Roman), _typewriter (similar to courier). Interesting right here, I did an experiment: write a few words with the Static text,36 number Arial font, the generated SWF file is 1.35KB, and the swf file is 196 bytes when you check "Use device fonts"; Keep "Use device font S "Select, change font to _sans, swf file size or 196 bytes;" Keep the font as _sans, remove the "Use device Fonts", SWF file size is 120 bytes, the font to break the generated SWF file is 1.37KB, and finally changed to Dynamic text,embed fonts Select all the letters, the SWF file is 7.73KB. What does mean? That is, in the absence of special requirements of the input text should try to directly use these three kinds of Device Fonts, can greatly reduce the volume of the file, of course, if you have to use some special fonts, you can only sacrifice some space. To verify that the font you use can be exported by Flash, turn on the text anti-aliasing option, and if the font is still jagged, consider choosing one of the above mentioned methods.
