Hi, Yes, you can embed the font and use html text as well as rotate the textarea. But when you embed the font via [Embed(..)] metatag, only normal style of font is embedded i.e. bold & italic font outlines are not embedded. I don't know, how to make sure that bold & italic outlines are also embedded via metatag or Flex.
1) If you don't bold or italic styles in your text, following is the quickest approach: ##HTMLTextWithFontEmbedding.mxml## <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; width="425" height="400" > <mx:Style> @font-face { fontFamily:myfont; src:url("file:///c:/windows/fonts/Georgia.TTF"); } </mx:Style> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function setText(event) { event.target.htmlText = "<font face='myfont' color='#FF0000'>some text</font>"; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label fontFamily="myfont" fontSize="16" id="out" _rotation="45" text="This is a label" alpha="20"/> <mx:TextArea id="_ta" fontFamily="myfont" _rotation="45" creationComplete="setText(event);"/> </mx:Application> 2) If you want bold & italic styles in your text, you can adopt following appraoch but it requires Macromedia Flash authoring tool & knowledge to use it: With Flash Authoring tool, * create flash movie * open library * create three font symbols with normal, bold and italic font outlines embedded. * export the swf. Say its name "georgiaEmbedded.swf", it has entire Georgia font embedded with normal, bold & italic font outlines. * copy the swf(georgiaEmbedded.swf) beside your mxml file in flex server. Create a MXML file can have this code: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; width="425" height="400" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ //embed the entire swf file, so that font symbols are merged with the main swf generated from this mxml. [Embed(source="georgiaEmbedded.swf")] var georgiaFontSWF; function setText(event) { event.target.htmlText = "<font face='Georgia'>Normal Text<br><b>Bold Text</b><br><i>Italic Text</i></font>"; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label fontFamily="Georgia" fontSize="16" id="out" _rotation="45" text="This is a label" alpha="20"/> <mx:TextArea id="_ta" fontFamily="Georgia" _rotation="10" width="100" height="100" creationComplete="setText(event);"/> </mx:Application> Run it, it would work...
