Have been working on a new project for a Japanese client.
We are building a system to create and edit personal and professional logos. The tricky part of this application is the fonts. Usually , in English, a font weighs anywhere from 10k to 60k. In Japanese you are looking at about 3mb to 9mb per font. This creates some major loading issues in the application.
Here is a page dedicated to Flash Runtime Font Sharing.
Flash is a difficult tool to use when trying to create an accessible website. Accessibility reqiures careful attention to the way content relates to everything else in the webSite. Content is not available to the web browser via Flash. The content in the Flash movie is usually encapsulated and closed to the world of SEO. This has been a long standing problem with Flash and this is also the reason Flash was left out of the Web 2.0 craze. Web 2.0 has focused solely on AJAX mixed with HTML and CSS along with a few others. The only attention that Flash received was that for its powerful delivery of video over the web. This has become its name stake in the Web 2.0 world. Now Flash owns 70% of all video shown on the web. Pretty impressive. But, there is a new wave of Flash on the way! Flash content made available to the search engines. Using the power of plug-ins like SWFObject and SWFAddress along with the amazing power and speed of AMFPHP Flash can deliver accessible content to the search engines while giving the user an amazing experience.
