Question

Referencing Google Fonts possible

Is anyone aware of a way to use a font dynamically in Flash via Google Fonts via the CSS feed for the font? (ie without downloading the font)

I see it suggested here that Flash doesn't have the capability to load WOFF font files, perhaps things have changed in the two years since that post?

There is an as3 woff parser (but it doesn`t let you use the webfonts in your app):

only gives access toi character table and such

Since you have to license webfonts to use them properly and its a major income source for typographs that specialize on webfonts,

I don`t think its a good idea to circumvent that whole business by a construction you are suggesting.

It pretty much begs to get sued.
