Let's say I have additional fonts that aren't currently enabled. I typically use a font management tool to turn them on. But I'd like to create a tool viewing fonts I have to determine if I want to turn it on. What abot showing fonts located in a directory?

When I saw the post I figured I'd ask to see if I was wrong because they were adamant about it being possible. :-D Yeah, no sweat because I informed the client of that and used embedded fonts and we’re months beyond this stage.

Since the embed is done at compile time in Flex and the font is "baked" into the SWF, I don't know how you could do something similar at run time. But I haven't really tried this so maybe I'm just overlooking something. Sorry, Peter John,

Bland II, You should be able to rotate embedded font no problem as long as it is embedded properly. In fact, I believe I covered an example of embedding fonts with alpha fades and rotations in a Flash CS3 Quick Start I wrote a while back. For more information, see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/embedding_fonts/ (specifically the last example). I don't know that I've specifically tried this in Flex (although I do recall posting something on rotating tooltips which probably applies). Peter John C. Bland II,

Can you embed those fonts and do rotations, etc on the textfield? CS3 would show the font properly but doing rotatings was a no-no.
