I would guess embedding fonts off screen in a text field will be 'slightly' more kb as you are loading a text field that is loaded but not used AND embedding the font; whereas in the first case you are just embedding the font in the library. But we are taking a very small difference for sure.

that's awesome guys - thanks for the tips

are there any file size issues with linking the font from the library as opposed to having a text field off screen?

nice tip, but it's not absolutely necessary to get them to work, though it may be 'faster' than trying to do it the 'right' way [whatever that means, fonts are really precarious].

Hello,
Have you tried to place a text field off screen/stage and embed the font
family (each style needs to be embeded in it's own text field - bold, italic etc) that you are trying to use. I remember there being some buggy-ness when trying to embed in AS2 and that was one of the work arounds that I had to
use.

Hi guys

I'm in AS2 and trying to create a textfield, embed fonts in and apply a
stylesheet - if i use embedfonts it doesn't render but if i omit it,
everything renders fine (but the fonts aren't embedded so won't render
properly elsewhere)

i can't see what's going wrong - could you take a look please?

  private function setupCopy():Void
  {
      _tfMoreText = _mcPanelViewer.createTextField("_tfMoreText",
_mcPanelViewer.getNextHighestDepth(), _nTypeStartX, _nTypeStartY,
_nPanelTotalWidth, 30);
      //_tfMoreText.embedFonts     = true; // making the text disappear
      _tfMoreText.html         = true;
      _tfMoreText.styleSheet     = _cssStyles;
      _tfMoreText.selectable     = true;
      _tfMoreText.border        = true;
      _tfMoreText.borderColor = 0x999999;
      _tfMoreText.htmlText     = _sMoreText;

      trace(_tfMoreText.htmlText); // traces '<p class="bodyText"><span
class="white">My text</span></p>'
  }

fonts are fun

thanks guys
