AW: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf only works for root

[Geisser, Michael]

Im using 

swftools-2008-08-21-2105

and the fonts I need are

Wingdings2
and various styles of Tele-Grotesk

I already tried using the .ttf files and defining a font path via -F.
That didn't help either.

Regards
Michael

Which swftools version are you using? 

The latest pdf2swf versions have built-in fonts, so you shouldn't
have those problems (unless the PDFs you process need a lot of 
special external fonts).
