Almost 300 Fonts in SWF Format
April 13th, 2007 by ryanstewart
I was working with Daniel Dura’s TwitterCamp application today and wanted to see about changing the font. Danny was using a SWF file as the font source, so I went looking for a replacement and came across Stefan Isarie’s site. He has almost 300 fonts, all in SWF format, that you can use for your Flex or Flash application.
I think one of the best way to make your Flex applications stand out is to get in and customize the fonts. With this library, you should have no trouble doing that. Now back to your regularly scheduled RIA analysis.

Thanks for posting this – a fantastic set of fonts.
I’m a bit concerned about the licensing as although he (Isarie) does indeed ask you to contact him if you find a font that isn’t ‘free’ – there is no information about where (or who) the fonts actually came from, or the license they were originally distributed under.
Just something to be aware of if you plan to use them in any commercial context.

The Flex.org showcase at http://www.flex.org/showcase/ has a cool Flex based font application:
