I have been handed a .swf file called akzidenz.swf I have tried to embed only to get the following error: "Unable to transcode akzidenz.swf"
After some quick research this apparently is common, and I thought this article was interesting (http://curiousmindsmedia.wordpress.com/2009/06/04/embedding-irregular-fonts-in-flex-3/), but it has yielded no solution. So far, my Style block is simple at the moment: @font-face { src: url('akzidenz.swf'); font-family:"(AkzidenzGroteskBE-Bold) _sans"; } When I open the file in Flash CS4 the Character Families are: (AkzidenzGroteskBE-MdIt) _sans (AkzidenzGroteskBE-BoldIt) _sans (AkzidenzGroteskBE-Bold) _sans (AkzidenzGroteskBE-Md) _sans I've tried various ways of spelling, including/excluding parentheses and "_sans", leaving font-weight out, yet I cannot shake the transcoding issue. There seems to the agreement that font embedding blows in Flex, but there's no consistent solution that I have found thus far. Any help? Any truly useful articles? Any one want to share the font family for PC with me? ($295 bucks...ouch.) Thanks!
