-5.) Can png2swf handle transparency?
+5.) The fonts in the SWFs generated by pdf2swf are wrong!
+
+    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).

+6.) Can png2swf handle transparency?
 
     It supports PNG mode 2 transparency (alpha palettes) since version 0.4.2. 
     Mode 6 (32 bit RGBA truecolor) is also supported since version 0.4.3, however
     it seems most Flash players don't handle the alpha channel in the resulting 
     32 bit images correctly.
