DefineFontInfo
tag in a SWF file. The DefineFontInfo tag defines a mapping from a glyph font (defined with DefineFont) to a device font. It provides a font name and style to pass to the playback platform's text engine, and a table of character codes that identifies the character represented by each glyph in the corresponding DefineFont tag, allowing the glyph indices of a DefineText tag to be converted to character strings.
The presence of a DefineFontInfo tag does not force a glyph font to become a device font; it merely makes the option available. The actual choice between glyph and device usage is made according to the value of device font (see the introduction) or the value of UseOutlines in a DefineEditText tag. If a device font is unavailable on a playback platform, Flash Player will fall back to glyph text.
