Can you please share your secret on HOW you get font files to appear in your library in your .fla file?! I gotta be missing something COMPLETELY obvious on this one… Thanks!

I haven’t played around too much with fonts embedded from Flash specifically, but if you’re embedding your font within Flex you need to make sure you’re embedding the correct unicode values. For an example, see Specifying custom named unicode ranges in Flex.

If you are using a Flash based font, I’d start by checking that you are in fact embedding that specific copyright character/glyph.

when embedding ‘Myriad Pro’ - I cannot see special characters like copyright sign. is there another embeding feather that Im missing?

When I use this exampe with my font David Transparant I aways get this error in Fex Builder 3:

Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
font ‘David Transparant’ with normal weight and regular style not found mens_op_maat_v0.1/src styles.css line 133 1195834836308 1027

Any idea?

The trick is to have a couple more fonts in your Flash library (one regular, one bold, one italic, one bold italic). Export the SWF and then make similar tweaks to your MXML/CSS, embed the regular, bold, italic, bold italic.

The code was a bit too much for a comment, but scroll up a bit and you can see the updated example/explanation above.

Hope that helps,

Peter

runs great, but I still have a problem with it: what happens to bold characters in my text? I just can’t get linkButtons or htmltext to work with my embedded font, since flex doesn’t seem to find the bold typeface. And the embeddes font doesn’t appear in my rte fontlist.
Do you have an idea what to do?
cheers,
Chris
