I'll try it out.<br>
I had run across the GG solution in my search, but after reading
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frutiger I wondered if Frutiger Next might support
ss/sp natively.<br>
But fonts and how they are constructed is a mystery to me, so I'm probably
mis-undertanding the concepts.<br>
And I guess if Flash doesn't support the ss/sp concept, then it's academic
anyway.<br>

With a hand from JT, I've managed to get embedded fonts (in this case Frutiger
Linotype) and css with custom tags working together. I'll post the details for
the archives once I get this last bit addressed.<br>
<br>
Now, if I open Frontpage and use Frutiger as the font, I can
subscript/superscript, so I assume the Frutiger Linotype has the ss/sp fonts in
there.<br>
<br>
I have embedded that font in resource.swf, and it appears as expected.<br>
<br>
But I am not sure how to proceed as far as defining a character within Xerte
such that it uses the ss/sp.<br>
Flash (and hence Xerte) does not support the <sup>, <sub> tags, so
how do we invoke them?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Dave </span></p>
