The way I understand it, FW, PS and AI rely on fonts in your operating system's fonts folder. These font types are TrueType, OpenType and PostScript
Edge Animate, Google & Typekit Web Fonts have different file types for use in various web browsers:
| EOT Compressed (uses LZ compression) | Internet Explorer 4+ |
| EOT Lite (uncompressed) | Internet Explorer 4+ |
| TTF (raw TrueType Fonts for screen) | Mozilla 3.5, Safari 3.1, Chrome 2.0, Opera 10 |
| SVG (xml version for pre-4.2 iOS devices) | Safari 3.1 iPhone, Chrome 0.3, Opera 9.0 |
| SVGZ (gzipped SVG) | Safari 3.1 iPhone, Chrome 0.3, Opera 9.0 |
| WOFF (gzipped, web only, cross-browser font) | Mozilla 3.6+, Chrome 5+, IE 9+ |
I don't think it's humanly possible to work with Web fonts in Fireworks or any other graphics app that doesn't use a browser rendering engine.
