I have set up a project (in the same way I have numerous projects before) that uses a seperate fonts SWF to provide the fonts to my project. Once loaded I register these fonts to the global font directory using Font.registerFont(). My text styles come from an externally loaded style sheet.
For some reason that I cannot figure out, when I try to create a textField and use my embedded fonts the text disapears from screen. If when creating the textField I set embedFonts to false then the text does appear at the right size and colour (as taken from the stylesheet), but obviously with a default system font where my nice custom font should be.
The code I am using is below:
TTWTextHelper.traceAvailableFonts();
TTWTextHelper.traceStyleSheet(myStyleSheet);
var myText = new TextField;
[code]....
I know that (apparently) my fonts are embeded as when I run TTWTextHelper.traceAvailableFonts() i get the two fonts listed.
public static function traceAvailableFonts():void
{
/*
* See what fonts we have to play with

I bought a text scroller flash file and am now trying to tailor it to my needs.URL...It is composed of several movieclips which link to the an external text file. The external file starts off with this mytext= <font color="#000000" size="7">BACKGROUND</font> This file determines the size and color of the font but does not define the actual font itself, it also contains the content. There is a movieclip within the flash file where you can denote a device font or embed a font from the properties panel.Starting off I simply picked my font from the properties panel and used "anti-alias for animation". This seemed to work fine on the Flash preview and also once published online. However, once I used another computer to view my site the font changed and reverted to a default. This leads me to believe the font is linked to each computers font library. I am wondering if there is a way to override this and to link the font to a place on my server?I also tried to embed my font via the properties panel but it looks warped and unrecognizable, so thats out. Unless there is another way to embed fonts at stays true to the font? To add more fuel to the fire, the font I have to use is not html safe "Gotham" to be exact.URL,,,

I'm trying to embed the Chalet font to some dynamic text fields and it is causing the vertical position of the text to jump up above the actual textfield. (see screenshot) Is Chalet a messed up font? (or more likely, Flash is sooo screwed up in handling fonts) This font displays absolutely fine in Photoshop and Illustrator.

I have a swf A, which contains no font.If I download into it the swf F1, which contains few characters of Arial, then I'll have the arial font embed into A, no problem with that.But if, then, I download the swf F2, which contains other characters of Arial into swf A, will I be able to use all the embed characters font, only the F2, or only the F1 ?I'd like to have a link to somewhere where this is explained, even in very technical terms : I wasn't able to find one.
EDIT : After few tests, it seems that the player replace the loaded font... How can I merge them, then ?

Is it possible to embed a font in Flash and have it displayed as though it was a device font? In other words, can embedded fonts be aliased?Using the bitmap-text option doesn't work, Flash tends to screw up a lot of the character spacing. I haven't found any pixel fonts that mimic Arial, Verdana and Tahoma accurately. Setting the stage quality to low does alias the fonts but they become fragmented.Using device fonts is an option but, as far as I understand, some browsers/operating systems will take it upon themselves to anti-alias the text.

I'm using Flex 4. I'm trying to apply a embedded font in all Alert components of the application, to get the same style that all the app, of course. I code in my CSS file:
[Code]...
The font-family worked to all componentes, but not to the Alert component. In alert the text message and title got unvisible. If I change to other font-family it works correctly, just the embedded font doesn't work on Alert component. Anyone got this problem? Obs: The embedded font worked in all the app, just the Alert no.

I have a dynamic text field. I have added a font object in the library, and selected that embedded font for my text field. I am using the font size I embedded. I also opened the Embed window & selected the characters I want.
When I do all of this, the text does not display in the text field. If I select DON'T embed from the embed window, then my text shows up, although, not in the right font.

I wanted to use a special font (frenchscript mt) for captions I made in the dynamic text field. (My captions change depending on the image chosen and it has links too). I've done all kinds of embedding, including the new font symbol embedding method but nothing works. I test if embedding was done by removing the font from my fonts folder. But when I do this, the captions become Arial I even tried to put a plain dynamic text field on stage using the special font, but the same thing happens when I remove the special font from the fonts folder. What can I do to make sure that even users without this font will be able to view the caption in the special font??

I have index.swf and contact.swf.
I'm using the MovieClipLoader to load contact.swf into index.swf. contact.swf is placed in a movie clip with specific dimensions.
In contact.swf I have:
Code:
var myFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFmt.color = 0x444444;
myFmt.font = "CorbelBold";
var metrics:Object = myFmt.getTextExtent("I love flash");
trace(metrics.textFieldWidth);
If I start contact.swf directly (not loaded into index.swf) it traces what I want.
If I start index.swf --> contact.swf is loaded into index.swf, then it traces something else. I found out that I have to EMBED the fonts in contact.swf AND index.swf to make it work.
Why do I have to embed the fonts in both .swf's ?

I've been trying to simply embed a single font in my .swf webpage-- not with actionscript, just as a library symbol, using cs4-- the directions I've seen are pretty straightforward, but for some reason it's not displaying correctly on computers other than my own. I wonder if I've got the URL correct: should it just be "myFile.swf"?

I am experimenting on embedding external fonts. I found this example on the webbut it does not work for me. Anyone tried it? I just changed "somefont" to a font that exists on my system like AGENCYB.TTF:
[Embed(source="C:WINDOWSFontsAGENCYB.TTF", fontFamily="foo")]
But it generates errors:
unable to resolve 'C:WINDOWSFontsagencyb.ttf' for transcoding

Attempting to embed two weights of the same font will cause CS5 to produce a differently named font for each weight.
I've created a sample FLA that clearly shows the problem[url]...
When exporting CS5 will not set the bold flag on the fields defaultTextFormat, forcing this on (also show in the attached FLA) produces the correct result.
I've got big site-like project with hundreds of differently formatted TextFields; and this bug pretty much forces me to export my SWF assets in CS4 (where the behavious is correct)

I have for example the font Helvetica and than a different style from with for example extended thin or medium or whatever. This is something other's dont have at a computer. Now when I would upload my website with these fonts, others won't see this font eventhough it's an .swf file.
- How do I embed this in my Flash/Action script so they will also see this font?
- adding style to these fonts in actionscript, like letterspacing and other spacings...?
- also with email forms/text boxes...
changing colors for some words in the text and give it an break whenever it needs to etc...My other problem is that whenever I create an actionscript drawn Shape or Sprite. The text which is written with Action Script and also just with normal flash text, it's always UNDERNEATH the action script drawn box...

I am working on a project that requires multiple fonts. In addition, the .fla file will be passed around to a number of people who will make changes. I have a website where I host the .swf and could also host font files (.ttf).
Is it possible to embed a font file (.ttf) from a website?
Example: When someone opens the fla file or swf file, it gets the font file from the URL. That URL would be defined when I originally created the fla file.

Just want to make sure this is correct before I tell the ol' boss.
In order for me to dynamically embed a font (through XML) that font must be installed on the server correct?
