Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime
Hi Daniel,
I am a little confused what you mean exactly. I have tried to set a
Label mxml component's style directly using the fontFamily name, and
when I do the text in the label diappears. Did you get it to actually
display the symbol font?
Here is the pertinent part of my current code:
mx:Label id=myLabel text=test /
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private var ldr:Loader;
private function onInit() : void
{
showFonts();
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain =
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest( SymbolInclude.swf );
ldr = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,
onLoaderComplete );
ldr.load( new URLRequest( SymbolInclude.swf), context );
}
private function onLoaderComplete(e:Event) : void
{
trace(onLoaderComplete: );
var content:DisplayObject = ldr.content;
var c:Class = content[myFont];
Font.registerFont(c);
myLabel.setStyle( fontFamily, mySymbol );
showFonts();
}
public function showFonts():void
{
trace(showFonts());
var fontList : Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for ( var i:String in fontList )
{
trace(font: + Font( fontList[i] ).fontName);
}
}
]]

So for any component that uses a UITextField, set the fontFamily style
of the parent UIComponent to the newly loaded font and then the
UITextField should be able to use the font even if fontFamily is
subsequently reset. I have no idea why this works, so there may be
some improvements to this method.

I know you can use @font-face, which appears to automatically
generate a
variable in the class, but its not a consistently named variable. I am
sure a utility function in the class could be used to ferret out that
variable name.

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime
I've been working with a font I don't have installed on my computer, so I could be sure it was working, although I also tried it with system fonts and it has worked. The only thing I can think of is that I set the fontName to the same value as the actual font name. If that doesn't work I can send you my code.

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime
I figured out how to use the textformat object. The textformat object does actually work, but a TextField will only retrieve the embeded font if it's parent has previously been sent set the font as a style. So for any component that uses a UITextField, set the fontFamily style of the parent UIComponent to the newly loaded font and then the UITextField should be able to use the font even if fontFamily is subsequently reset. I have no idea why this works, so there may be some improvements to this method.

One addition to this, which is that we
always include the space character when you specify the unicode range.
I'm not sure the original reasoning for this, but I just noticed it in the
code. Also, you can specify multiple ranges, separated by commas.

Re: [flexcoders] Embedding fonts at runtime
Right, to clarify the title of the thread should have been Dynamically
loading embedded fonts at runtime ...
This feature is critical if you want to use embedded fonts for a
localized application. Determine the locale, and load a SWF containing a
font, or possibly a unicode subset of the font (e.g. for Arial Unicode
MS).
Based on Daniel Friemen's successful experiments, it seems like this
will be possible, but hopefully future versions of Flex will support
this more elegantly.
Best,
-Daniel
