[swfmill] font issues

[Nils Millahn]

Thanks for the reply erixtekila. I still couldn't get it to work 
properly with all weights of the font (eg. heavy, light, roman, black, 
etc) - two of them worked, the other two didn't.

I will come back to it later some time, Zarate's single-file solution 
works fine for now but I would still love to be able to do it with 
swfmill instead.

cheers - Nils.
