[swfmill] Problem with space char in font import

[Jon Molesa]

I just looked at an older ticker app i did with swfmill.  I remembered
having a space in mine.  My glyphs tag looked like:

glyphs="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQURSTUVWXYZ1234567890 ."

This seemed to work for me with no problems.  But I didn't trying
converting it to xml and back again.  Could be a simple work around for
you until the next release.
