Hi That ways end user will see Font/Names without embedding at first Glance and that will not match the requirement. If this is the way why we will the user require a preview. He/she can See the font after applying it to a textfield lying on stage.

The main goal to achieve is displaying 500 fonts in a combo box with embed fonts=true or in other words the labels for each items in combo box should represent the preview for the fontName. If I use a fontLoader in the beginning of my application. I'll have to wait till all 500 fonts are Loaded. It may take time depending on end user network connections. Any other ideas are welcome bt live preview is a must Regards Rishi -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Weekes Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 8:31 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Font Preview In ComboBox Even if you are more streamlined in how you choose a font (i.e. have the combo not preview, but load either a preview image or live textbox after the change event of combo), arent you going to have to include all 500 fonts in your swf at compile time? Correct me if Im wrong, but is that good design? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sumeet Kumar Sent: 23 January 2006 14:53 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Font Preview In ComboBox Hi All In my application I have to show Font Preview in the combo box and to show font preview I need to load all the fonts But the problem is that I need to load around 500 fonts. And if I load all the fonts it is going to take lot of time. Can any one suggest any work around for this? Or any other idea to show the font preview. Any Suggestion would be a great help Thanks in Advance Regards Sumeet Kumar _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
