If you're sure you have the correct file and filename for the font file,
then I'd focus on getting the font embeded in and fla file, because if all
else fails, embeding the font in an FLA should work. What didn't work about
the fla method?

I'm embedding a font (Franklin Gothic) via CSS in an application, but
the associated bold font will not embed properly. The italic version
will also embed correctly. In C:\WINDOWS\Fonts the normal font is
listed as "FranklinGotCdITCTT" (filename IT345___.ttf), the italic
font is "FranklinGotCdITC BookItalic" (filename IT347___.ttf), and the
bold font is "FranklinGotCdMdITCTT" (filename IT348___.ttf).
My CSS (which correctly works for just the normal and italic fonts) is:
@font-face {
src: url("assets/IT345___.ttf");
fontFamily: FranklinGothicBook;
}
@font-face {
src: url("assets/IT347___.ttf");
fontFamily: FranklinGothicBook;
fontStyle: italic;
}
All text controls in the application have the font set in the CSS like:
[Class or stylename] {
fontFamily: FranklinGothicBook;
}
and not explicitly setting different fontFamily names since the text
controls are set using the htmlText property so that <i>...</i> and
<b>...</b> tags will control the bolding/italicizing.
When I try to embed the bold font using:
@font-face {
src: url("assets/IT348___.ttf");
fontFamily: FranklinGothicBook;
fontWeight: bold;
}
I get the following compilation error:
--- Error ---
Error: exception during transcoding: Font for alias
'FranklinGothicBook' with bold weight was not found at [path to
IT348___.ttf]
@font-face {
Error: unable to build font 'FranklinGothicBook'
@font-face {
=== Error ===
I tried embedding the Font in a FLA and setting it as a symbol to
embed it, but was unsuccessful. If anyone has an idea on what to do
please let me know, be it doing something to the .ttf to specify that
t is indeed bold, or embedding it via the SWF.
