Fonts that do not get turned to images?

I have intensely been working to learn the new Captivate 6 especially regarding the output to HTML6 since our online classroom is going mobile this year.

 

I have published a project and all the text has been turned to images. At first, I realized that I had not used a websafe font, so I went through and changed all the fonts to one that were websafe. They are all still turning to images. Is there a font or a method to get the html version to publish out as text so that the file size is smaller, the strain on the device is less (right now my project will not play on a mobile yet it plays in preview - I think the images are loading it down), and allows the text to be selectable as you would find in a webpage?

 

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

    Look in the install folder under en_US > Gallery > Playbars.

    Actually this makes me quite curious.  Can someone from the HTML5 team chime in here and help us to understand why Adobe chose to go this route for the HTML5 output?  On the face of it, if font characters are being converted into images for HTML5, this would seem to mean that a typical Cp6 project it likely to have hundreds (if not potentially thousands) of extra objects to be requested and downloaded from the web server.  Each separate request will take extra milliseconds that could add up to a significant amount of latency for this type of output.

     

    Surely there must have been a trade off or benefit of some kind that outweighed the possible latency?
