Re: [flexcoders] Re: Embedding Flash font
Ok, I just checked that out.
Looks as though when the font is set to antialias, it uses the
"system name" for the Font, so "Wingdings" if you choose that. If you
set the font to be 'bitmap' and don't antialias, it exports it as
"fontName_SIZEpt_st" or in my test "Wingdings_8pt_st".
You might want to try exporting it as bitmap and then have the CSS in
Flex set to display it with antialiasing.
The other option is to use the .TTF file for Wingdings and use that
reference inside of the Flex CSS file:
@font-face {
src: url("../fonts/Wingdings.ttf") ;
fontFamily: Wingdings;
unicodeRange:
U+0020-U+0040, /* Punctuation, Numbers */
U+0041-U+005A, /* Upper-Case A-Z */
U+005B-U+0060, /* Punctuation and Symbols */
U+0061-U+007A, /* Lower-Case a-z */
U+007B-U+007E; /* Punctuation and Symbols */
}
good luck,
jon

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Embedding Flash font
No prob! Happy I was able to help. I banged my head against the wall on that one for a while. Took me a bit of research to find out that Flash exports symbols for embedded fonts with it's own formatting. Now, it would be nice if there were just an automated way to deal with this. good luck, jon On Sep 16, 2007, at 3:46 PM, candysmate wrote: --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jon Bradley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm guessing because it's not recognizing the embedded font - you're > seeing the character from the default font, not the embedded font. > > A few things I try to make sure of: > It sure did Jon!
