I am not sure what the difference is between the two (except that the latter is not understood by swfmill) - but i think it's minimal for normal usage.

Dan,

  Aye. Thanks for the response. sIFR3 has a Flash 8 requisite -- which I 
*believe* has to do with scaling and auto-kerning. I'll have to play 
with it. For now, sticking with Flash 7 and sIFR 2.

  I will try your suggestion for usine DefineFont2s inside sIFR3.
