sIFR Font Embedder

I am using sIFR font embedder as I don't own a copy of flash.

http://digitalretrograde.com/Projects/sifrFontEmbedder/

I am trying to create an embedded flash file for the font Broadway. All works fine unless I try and include the character '&' to embed and a small corrupt 2kb flash file is created. I have checked the font via Adobe Photoshop and the '&' is included. The characters I am trying to embed are
abcdefghijklemnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890!@*()-;:,.`&

Has anyone come across a similar situation?


Cheers

Hmm... that reminds me of this thread: viewtopic.php?t=63040

Sorry to not be very helpful, but I wonder if that could be done. I really would love to implement a feature like that in blog software or something.

May be you could do it on an upload basis. This guy has. I know the flash gets emailed to you but may it would be possible to copy it some where to the server instead
