Typical designers giving you fonts that won't work outside of photoshop,
grr, had that problem in the past and got told off for telling an
esteemed designer that their font sucked ;)

i'm not using helvetica, it's actually a custom cut of bryant with no italic
variant. I just didn't know if there was a way i could make it faux italic

Hi,
You probably have to embed the italic font file - I don't have Helvetica,
but in my windows font's folder there is an italic version of my Arial font
called ARIALI.TTF

hey guys
does anyone know if there is a way of using faux fontstyle (italic for me)
using a font that has been [Embed]'ed.
my DynamicFonts class uses the setup suggested by colin moock - i've tried
embedding the font with fontStyle = "italic" but as that isn't part of the
font, it errors out.
am i going to have to add a custom property into the css and then do some
sprite skewing to get what i need or is there a way of adding a faux
italic
into the copy (like there is in the IDE)?
hope you can help
thanks

class fyi - this is compiled with the flex compiler and then loaded in to
the main class with a Loader object and as soon as it INITs, it adds all
of
it's fonts to the available fontlist so it avoids all of the getDefinition
craziness:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
public class DynamicFonts extends Sprite {
[Embed(source = "../fonts/HelveticaNeueLTStd-Roman.otf", fontName =
"HelveticaNeueLT Std", mimeType = "application/x-font",
unicodeRange="U+0020-U+002F, U+0030-U+0039, U+003A-U+0040, U+0041-U+005A,
U+005B-U+0060, U+0061-U+007A, U+007B-U+007E")] private var _HelveticaRoman
:
Class;
public function DynamicFonts() {
Font.registerFont(_HelveticaRoman); var ar:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for (var i:int = 0; i < ar.length; i++) trace("font:" + ar[i]); }
}
}
