Constant Detail
DEVICEConstant
public static const DEVICE:String = "device"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Used to indicate device font lookup. Flash Player uses the fonts installed on the system that is running the SWF file.

Using device fonts results in a smaller movie size, because font data is not included in the file.

Text rendered with device fonts is not always displayed the same across different systems and platforms, because Flash Player uses the fonts that are installed on the system.

EMBEDDED_CFFConstant 
public static const EMBEDDED_CFF:String = "embeddedCFF"

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Used to indicate embedded CFF font lookup. Flash Player uses font outlines embedded in the published SWF file.

Text fields that use embedded fonts are always displayed in the chosen font, whether that font is installed on the playback system or not.

One drawback to embedded fonts is that they increase the size of the SWF file.
