It didn’t appear to be used, which is a bit surprising, since I’ve seen
that device fonts can choose different line-endings on different
platforms, but maybe that was only TextField and FTE no longer has that
problem.

But if we do want to use an embedded font, we should use Open Sans or some
other open source font.  And it is my preference that we take the time to
tweak the build scripts to create a SWF with the font from sources.  It
isn’t a violation to have SWCs and SWFs in a repo, but I’d rather we
always ensure that we truly can build everything from sources.  It has the
advantage of picking up the latest and greatest from the upstream source
and not getting stale (assuming you can trust the upstream to be backward
compatible).
