Font issue - converter?

Question

Have a large project going live next week and having a problem with font embedding - specifically the font Avenir. I have seen many references to this particular font not being Flash compatible, but it's my cilients font and I need to try everything I can to use it. Is there some conversion tool or anything I could use? I've found some fonts that are close but nothing quite close enough.

I am totally font-ignorant but maybe my little experience with similar issue can point you somewhere.

A few years ago we bumped into a situation when we were forced by a client to use certain font (I do not remember its name) that was not displayed correctly in Flash plus we needed a font that did not exist. The way we solved it was - we opened font in a font editor and saved it as a custom ttf font. I vaguely remember there were only minor tweaks we had to perform.

The project was handled by a major agency which means I had guys who are fluent in font design at my disposal - this perhaps what made it so easy. However, I did dig my hands into font editing and even was able to design my little font in a very short time.

Basically, I remember it is not such a big deal. Also there are several free font editors available.
