Hi all thank you for all the information.
I was out and just today i came back to the office.
So, i will write a resume of my working solution.
Font: OpenSans link:<a
href="http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans"
target="_blank"
class="newlyinsertedlink">http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans</a>
on the global css turned off the kerning:
global
{
kerning: off;
fontFamily: main;
fontSize: 11;
}
how the fonts are embebed:
@font-face
{
src: url("assets/fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf");
fontFamily: AppFont;
fontStyle: normal;
fontWeight: normal;
embedAsCFF: true;
}
@font-face
{
src: url("assets/fonts/OpenSans-Italic.ttf");
fontFamily: AppFont;
fontStyle: italic;
fontWeight: normal;
embedAsCFF: true;
}
...
@Alex: Thanks for the info about the playerglobal.
i tried with the version 10.2 when it worked well,but when i tried the
configuration above and the result was also good in the version 11.8 i choose
for the last version.
In this moment i will have to change components to spark like forms, datagrid,
images, spacers, etc...
And for the next release is +1 application on Apache Flex SDK 4.10!
Thanks for all that help and that maintain the community alive!
Best regards,
Miguel
