+      WARNING Try putting a TTF version of that font (named "Myriad-Roman.ttf") into /swftools/fonts
 
-    Try running pdf2swf with the "-v" switch.
-    If you see a line reading "substituting VerySpecialFont -> Times-Roman", then pdf2swf
-    didn't find some fonts, which may be external references in the pdf. 
-    To fix this, copy the fonts into your current directory and pass the "-F ./" (--fontpath ./) 
-    option to pdf2swf. (This doesn't yet work with TTF, only with Type1 Fonts. You can 
-    convert TTF to Type1, however, using ttf2pt1 (http://ttf2pt1.sourceforge.net)).
-    The font files should, in this case, have the filenames VerySpecialFont.afm and
-    VerySpecialFont.pfa (.pfb).
+    Provided you actually own the font in question (here: Myriad-Roman.ttf), 
+    you can copy that fonts into your current directory and pass 
+    the "-F ./" (--fontpath ./) option to pdf2swf. 
+    If you use a page in several PDFs, you can also simply copy it
+    to (on Windows) C:\SWFTools\Fonts\, or (on Unix) /usr/local/share/swftools/fonts
