Converting the text to an image kills the semantics of your markup. The issue with FLIR is more on searchability than the ability to select.

"Like it or not, and argue it as you may, Adobe Flash is legally allowed to embed and use fonts that the developer has purchased." I would not have agreed with that statement even when I was product manager for fonts at Adobe. Using fonts in Flash (SWF objects) is just as much subject to licensing restrictions as any other use of fonts is. More font licensors are okay with it than with some uses one can think of, but it's not some sort of magical get-out-of-jail-free card to avoid licensing issues. You still need to check the EULA for the font, and see if the use you want is permitted. If it's not clear, you may need to contact the licensor. “Does not violate EULA or copyrights, since font is contained within the SWF object.” “Like it or not, and argue it as you may, Adobe Flash is legally allowed to embed and use fonts that the developer has purchased.”

They're just TrueType fonts in a funky wrapper. Urm, no, EOT fonts can be hinted or anti-aliased just fine. They’re just TrueType fonts in a funky wrapper.
