Hi list,
I wanted to embedd bold/itac fonts from a TTF file which has multiple faces
(plain/bold/italic/bold-italic) together. And I wanted to show a text in
Italic, but the swf file produced by the swfmill 0.2.12 always show the
text in Plain style fonts.
I looked at the souce code: src/swft/swft_import_ttf.cpp and found a
interesting portion.
=======================================================================
void importDefineFont2( DefineFont2 *tag, const char *filename, const char
*fontname, const xmlChar *glyphs_xml, Context *ctx, swft_ctx *swftctx, int
offset ) {
FT_Library swfft_library;
FT_Face face;
....
error = FT_New_Face( swfft_library, filename, 0, &face );
....
if( face->num_faces > 1 ) {
fprintf( stderr, "WARNING: %s contains %i faces, but only the
first is imported.\n", filename, face->num_faces );
}
....
=======================================================================
The message seems implying that the swfmill will import only 1 TypeFace
(Plain) from a TTF file even if the given TTF file has other faces
(Bold/Italic). Am I right?
I think it would be nice if the swfmill let me specify the typeface in the
movie XML, for example:
<font id="MSGOTHIC" import="C:\WINNT\Fonts\MSGOTHIC.TTC" glyphs="012345"
typeface="It"/>
<!-- "Bd","It","BdIt"
these appreviations are based on TrueType Specification,
Chapter 2, PCLT, TypeFace -->
Is this an OK idea?
