Re: [flexcoders] Using Embedded fonts in htmlText

[Daniel Freiman]

I don't know why that is happening, and I don't know what's causing it exactly, but one workaround that I've seen elsewhere that might work here is to set the fontfamily ("Arial, Symbol")  to every font you might want to use in that textarea and then you should using html be able to set the the htmlText to any font that you have set fontFamily to (even mixing fonts simultaneously).  Don't know why this should work, but it has for me in UITextFields which is the textfield inside the TextArea.

I was wondering if someone managed to achieve this. After
struggling with embedding some fonts I finally got it working to some degree.

The fonts are taken in most components. However, when I'm
trying to use an embedded font in a <font> tag and drop it in the
htmlText attribute of a TextArea, the text is not using the embedded font,
although the documentation claims it should. (devguide, 'Using tags in
html text')

 

This is what I have in the css:

 

@font-face {

            src:
url('/assets/fonts/arial_emb.ttf');

            fontWeight:
normal;

            fontFamily:
arialtest

}

 

.textarea { embedFonts: true; font-weight: normal; }

 

In the component I have something like this:

 

<mx:TextArea id="info" width="200"
height="100" htmlText="" />

 

info.htmlText = "<font face='arialtest'
size='14'>test test test test</font>";

 

This will take the default font setting of the flash
application. arialtest is never applied.

 

This however works:

 

<mx:TextArea id="info" width="200"
height="100" fontFamily="arialtest" htmlText=" />

 

info.htmlText = "<font size='14'>test test test
test</font>";

 

But this is not what I want as there will be text in
different formatting styles in that field…
