Re: [flexcoders] Manual TextFlow + Embedded Font not supported?

See the embedded font post on my blog.  The control  needs to have the right 
SWF context.  Does it work if you turn off RSLs?

Hello,

Anyone have any idea why the embedded font in the following basic application 
does not show up?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:Application

         xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009";

         xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark

         xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx <http://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx> 
"

         creationComplete="application1_initializeHandler(event)"

         minWidth="955" minHeight="600">



         <fx:Script>

                   <![CDATA[

                             import flash.text.engine.FontLookup;

                             import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;

                             import mx.events.FlexEvent;

                             import spark.utils.TextFlowUtil;



                             [Embed(source="ZemkeHandITCTT.ttf", 
fontFamily="zem", embedAsCFF="true", fontWeight="normal", 
mimeType="application/x-font")]

                             public const zem_embed_class:Class;



                             protected var embeddedFontMarkup:XML =  <p 
fontFamily="zem" fontLookup="embeddedCFF"><span>Some content</span></p>;



                             protected function 
application1_initializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void          {

                                       var textFlow:TextFlow = 
TextFlowUtil.importFromXML(embeddedFontMarkup);

                                       textFlow.fontFamily = 'zem';

                                       textFlow.fontLookup = 
FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;

                                       one.textFlow = textFlow;

                             }

                   ]]>

         </fx:Script>



         <s:RichEditableText id="one" width="500" height="204" 
renderingMode="cff" fontLookup="embeddedCFF" />

</s:Application>



I know the font works because if I specify any embedded font directly in the 
RichEditableText, the specified embedded fonts shows up.



Thanks,

Baz
