It is pretty nifty.
It handles local font problems fairly well.
Here is an example of one of my @font-face from the generated file.
//Set in an IE only css
@font-face {
font-family: 'Textile';
src: url(fonts/textile-webfont.eot);
src: local('☺'), url(fonts/textile-webfont.woff) format('woff'), url
(fonts/textile-webfont.ttf) format('truetype'), url(fonts/textile-
webfont.svgz#webfontbq9PZa3N) format('svg'), url(fonts/textile-
webfont.svg#webfontbq9PZa3N) format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
//Set in a css for all other browser. bleh IE
@font-face{ font-family: Textile; src: url(fonts/Textile.ttf)
format("truetype"); }
then I simply add a class with that font name.
.Textile {font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; line-
height:normal; font-family: 'Textile', cursive;}
or add it to a declaration.
.usernav .navheader { color: #000; font-size: 16pt; font-family:
Textile; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; line-height: 18pt;
text-decoration: underline; }
FYI, make sure you set the appropriate "font-weight: normal; font-
style: normal;" for the font or you could come up missing some
letters.. :))
I also used the "expert mode" to create these. Needed a little more
control after a few dozen times of trying.
HTH,
Best,

Folks,
I'm currently working on a large eLearning project... hundreds of
static
(ugh!) screens. We're using the Gaia framework with great success.
I've built a CS4 text display component that our designers use (uses
component parameters pointing to external XML, CSS and font files,
displays styled HTML text in the Flash IDE and at runtime). It lets
them
lay out screens without needing to create or style the text (we use
HTML-monkeys to build the external XML files holding the text).
Recently a small number of users began reporting an issue that we
can't
replicate in-house... The runtime text isn't appearing. I can't
replicate the issue yet.
Our content is usually deployed via a 3rd party hosted LMS to
users on
our corporate network, but the recent issue has surfaced with users
who
aren't on our corporate network.
Things I've tried (without success) to replicate the issue:
- Matching users' OS and browser (Win7 and IE8)
- Trying other OS and browser combinations (XP, Vista, Firefox, IE7)
- Testing from inside our corporate network
- Using a 3G USB modem to get 'outside our network' and then access
the
LMS
- Using 'Charles' to throttle the connection speed down to ridiculous
levels
- Viewing the log in 'Charles' for anything unusual
The SWFObject embed statement is specifying Flash Player 10.0.32.18
If you've got any suggestions about the possible source of the
issue, or
other steps you've found useful in isolating and replicating a tricky
issue I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
Chris
