I thought there must be an easier way and eventually discovered that swfmill seems to be capable of just what I (and many others) want. Oh, and first off, I'm using the latest available windows build of swfmill (0.2.12.5). See http://www.deja-vue.net/blog/2006/05/26/as2-sharedfonts-datagrid-example-the -last-stand/ for examples (might be still down, try http://web.archive.org/web/20070621074407/http://www.deja-vue.net/blog/2006/ 05/26/as2-sharedfonts-datagrid-example-the-last-stand/ instead). OSFlash also points to this resource. Unfortunately, as the above site is down, I can't grab the examples Mike provided. So I'm not sure how to really integrate it. Anywaaaaaaaay, I somehow got it working now. The problem is that it only works with some fonts, but not all. For example it works with a font called "Dynamic BRK" (urbanfonts.com), but not with any of the "Frutiger" styles. The swfmill XML looks exactly the same as in the examples (except for the font name attribute), my ActionScript goes here: stop(); var assetContainer:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", _root.getNextHighestDepth()); var assetLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); var assetListener:Object = new Object(); assetListener.onLoadInit = function(mc) { trace(mc + " loaded"); setTimeout(_root, "bla", 1000); //bla(); } assetLoader.addListener(assetListener); assetLoader.loadClip("frutiger.swf", assetContainer); function bla(mc) { trace("bla called over"); var tfmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); tfmt.font = "dafont"; tfmt.size = 30; tfmt.color = 0x333333; var tf:TextField = _root.createTextField("test_txt", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 20, 20, 200, 200); tf.border = true; tf.embedFonts = true; tf.antiAliasType = "advanced"; tf.text = "huhu"; tf.setTextFormat(tfmt); } The setTimeout call seems to be necessary to properly load the font SWF. I already tried to set it to a longer wait time as the "Frutiger" font swf is slightly larger than the "Dynamic BRK" on, but it does not help. Thanks in advance for any input on this.
