Search archives. Another embedding fonts thread was discussed up
about a week ago ("Embed Flash Font" was the subject).
Text of my post is below, which works for all pixel fonts I've tested
so far (provided you use the proper font size in the Flex CSS document).
First step is to put a dynamic text field on the stage in Flash, set
your font for the field and choose the character(s) you wish to
embed. Make sure the text field is set to use Bitmap Text (whatever
the drop down is). You do not have control over the characters after
this step, so all your embedding is done in Flash (ie, no unicode
control in Flex CSS).
The use of "font-weight: normal" and "fontAntiAliasType: normal" are
necessary, from what I recall. You have no control over this in Flex
for pixel fonts.
The following steps are:
------------------------------------------
1. Don't name the embedded font in the Flash 8 swf file the same as
the system font.
2. Open the Flash 8 SWF back up into Flash 8 IDE (or CS3 IDE). When
you do that, do a list variables - Debug > List Variables. Make note
of the 'exported' font name that Flash used for the font. That name
is what you'll use in Flex.
For example, on using a pixel font (Kroeger 05_56), I exported the
Flash 8 SWF file, the embedded symbol name ended up as "kroeger
05_56_8pt_st". And in Flex, I used this in the CSS as follows:
@font-face {
src: url(../fonts/Kroeger.swf) ;
fontFamily: "kroeger 05_56_8pt_st";
font-weight: normal;
}
And defining the usage of that font, recognizing that in this case
it's a pixel font and doesn't use the advanced anti aliasing....
.assetInfoTitle
{
color:#666666;
fontFamily: "kroeger 05_56_8pt_st";
font-weight: normal;
fontSize: 8;
fontAntiAliasType: normal;
}
Hopefully that will get you on your way.
best,
Jon

yes i try both already ...embeding .ttf files and make
a dynamic text on swf file, i choose embeding dynamic
text ,embedding ttf doesnt work at all, while
embedding swf is working, but blurred text, i define
normal,italic and bold in font face already...i even
got fontantialiastype set to advanced rather than
normal (i get it from a site, although it still
blurred).
