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='#FF'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
TextbrbBold Text/bbriItalic 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...
Hope that helps...

Has this been answered anywhere? I'm having the same issues with
embedded fonts not being displayed in the htmlText of an mx:TextArea
field.

Hi,
i have a textarea with htmltext and want to rotate it 180 degree.
Therefor i have to embed the font used in the textfield. But when the
font is embedded and i use the htmlText-tag, no text will be
displayed in the textfield. If i click the right mouse button on the
textfield and select 'select all', the text is in the clipboard.
How can i use htmltext, embedded fonts and rotation?
Thanks,
Jens
