[Laszlo-user] Dynamic Font Loading

[Rich Christiansen]

Thanks for your response, Henry.  One remaining question.  Is the 
<import> tag only available in proxied (non-SOLO) apps?  I can see that 
to use the import tag, we point it at an LZX file, which I imagine would 
need to be compiled - and thus, the question. :)

Thanks,
-Rich
