pdf2swf 0.7.0 doesn't have any support for the -f option; if you're
feeling up to it, though, you can try to replace the gfxfont.c
routines by the ones from the development snapshot. Not sure whether
this will work, but most of the changes which enabled -f to function
were in this file (check the CVS logs). Backporting some changes to
lib/devices/swf.c (a.k.a. pdf2swf/swfoutput.cc) might also be necessary.

Could you upload the PDF where this appears to bugs.swftools.org? Thanks!
