Hi Gabriel, are you working with windows?
I tried your example and on windows it didn't work for me too until I
installed the font into the
windows fonts directory - weird but then it works

Mark, thanks I can't figure it out...
I've tried your suggestion and no way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<movie width="320" height="240" framerate="12">
<background color="#ffffff"/>
<font id="*jettat*" name="*jettat*" import="*jettat*.ttf" />
<textfield id="hellobox" width="200" height="50" size="20"
font="*jettat*" text="HELLO world!"/>
<place id="hellobox" name="output" depth="10"/>
<frame/>
</movie>
The library tag has something to do here? swfmill is not complaining
about anything.
The TTF file is called "jettat.ttf" and the font name is "Jetta Tech".
I assume that @font in textfield is "jettat" (the font id) right?
I've attached the ttf file, can you test it please? so we know if is
working or not?
I'm compiling like this:
swfmill.exe simple testText.xml testText.swf
is that correct?
thanks again.

What is vera.ttf ? it is the real TrueType file?
Yes.
The ID (vera in this case) may be anything? or should be the font name, and
how do you use it in the TextField?
Yes, both -- it /may/ be anything, but /should/ be the font name for
clarity's sake.
What's missing in the tutorial, because font handling in Swfmill has
developed much further since it was written, is that there's also a
@name attribute to go with @id. @id is the Swfmill internal name (for
textfields created in Swfmill), @name is for AS usage (textfields
created by the script).
So, try this:
<font id="KlingonBlade" name="KlingonBlade" import="KlingonBlade.ttf" />
Note the @name attribute I added. An advantage of this is that you can
import multiple font types, like normal, bold, italic etc., and all
give them the same @name. When you use a bold style in your textfield,
the appropriate font style will be chosen.
HTH,
Mark

Hi Robin,
I've already checked this link, but I had problems doing this:
Fonts work slightly different. To import all numerical characters of
vera.ttf as "vera", you would add the following after the library node:
<font id="vera" import="library/vera.ttf" glyphs="0123456789"/>
What is vera.ttf ? it is the real TrueType file?

I made a quick (really quick) sample with a weird TTF and it does'nt work
for me :(
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<movie width="320" height="240" framerate="12">
<background color="#ffffff"/>
<font id="KlingonBlade" import="KlingonBlade.ttf"
glyphs="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!"/>
<textfield id="hellobox" width="200" height="50" size="20"
font="KlingonBlade" text="hello world!"/>
<place id="hellobox" name="output" depth="10"/>
<frame/>
</movie>
and this is what I get
thanks again for the time!
