Like Kenneth said, simply don't - use _sans or _serif as
fonts so it will 
use the default system fonts.

You will lose some control of the text - you won't know in
advance the 
length it will have (it will change from computer to
computer), and even how 
it will be rendered (with or without antialias - also change
from computer 
to computer).

The good thing is that although it's limited, you do have
some control of 
it - you can still use effects (Flash 8+) for example. So
it's simply a 
matter of dealing with it in a different way.
