Compared to the bugloaded madness of embedding a font in Flash CS3, Flex SDK (in combination with Eclipse Platform and AXDT for instance) really makes it easy with a following ActionScript snippet:

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty certain that an average Flash/RIA developer cares about how the dev tools look. If a piece of software looks ugly, it&#8217;s unlikely to be used.
Eclipse in that matter is one such tool. On Mac OS X its Dock icon looks ugly and the splash screen isn&#8217;t any better either. To improve this unbearable [...]]]></description>
