[Laszlo-dev] Implementing full FTE and TLF support for OpenLaszlo and Flash10

[Henry Minsky]

I can advise, although any memory of the details is rapidly fading.

The current implentation tried to make an exact drop-in class that works
like the venerable TextField, so it could be swapped into LzTextSprite with
no changes to LzTextSprite.

The embedding of fonts was handled by some calls in the compiler to emit
Flex resource directives. I could try to help out on modifying some of those
to take different args.
