All visitors to a Flash site see the same fonts yhat you have designed

it to have. When you export a Flash movie to an swf file for use on the

Web (or elsewhere) it includes all the font shape information that is

needed to display your fonts whether or not those fonts are installed on

the users computer. 


The fonts on the users computer are never used unless you include the

command DeviceFont and this only works with Windows and only if the user

has the exact font installed on his system.


My experiance with Devicefont when used with Flash has been less than

satisfactory with variations on how well it works varied even within

Windows. I just suggest you leave DeviceFont unchecked.
