Also, what is the font extension? I have found fonts with an .otf extension
(like MyriadPro-Regular.otf) don't seem to embed with code. TTF fonts work for
me though, could that be the issue? Also, in Flex (can't recall in the Flash
framework off the top of my head), when you embed fonts, there is an option to
embedAsCFF - if something like that is available, try toggling true or false,
sometimes that makes a difference. Lastly, if your font is otf or something
non-TTF, there are some Myriad fonts for free out there that have the .ttf
extension, you could try downloading one of those instead.

Well, the textField as library symbol will work fine -
I believe the font embedding works differently with library symbols, but I
could be wrong.

Well, the textField as library symbol will work fine - I tested that, but would
rather keep it pure AS.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Problem embedding and using a font variant
I'm using Myriad Pro for regular (non TLF) dynamic text fields in my
project and it's working fine. Now the client wants to use "Myriad Pro
Condensed Bold" for titles and I cannot get it to show up. I can't get
just "Myriad Pro Condensed" to show either. I don't have any problems
with "Myriad Pro" - I think the "condensed" variant/style is causing
issues. I've checked over and over that I have it embedded properly.
Looks like "Condensed Bold" is treated as a style like "bold" but
there's no way to set a style on a text format object.
I even tried setting the font style via html in the text content:
textfild.htmlText = "<font face='Myriad Pro
Condensed'>"+mytext+"</font>"; Didn't work.
Any tips for using font variants like this? I'd rather keep doing it
dynamically like this and not have to create a textfield symbol in the
library to use (which would work). Also, this is an AS3/CS5 project.
The TLF TextLayoutFormat has a font style property, but not sure if it
would work - but the last time I tried to use TLF my FLA wouldn't
compile because of some error with my assets SWC and the TLF SWC. So
I'd rather not go there.
Maybe I can fake it by tweaking the scaleX property.
Thanks,
Matt
