I've had lots of issues embedding fonts directly within Flex. I'd recommend embedding your fonts into a flash swf and then embedding that. For some reason that seems to help a ton (plus you can pick and choose your character sets, reducing your overall size).
Flex Examples always provides really good stuff, here's a brief article on how to do it: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/10/25/embedding-fonts-from-a-flash-swf-file-into-a-flex-application/ The only down-side to this method is you'll need Flash to do it (or know someone who has Flash who will do it for ya). - Kevin --- In [email protected], David Pariente <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If u find a solution please tell us, i got that problem with a pair of specific fonts too :( > > > ----- Mensaje original ---- > De: Ben Clinkinbeard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Para: [email protected] > Enviado: martes, 20 de mayo, 2008 16:28:46 > Asunto: Re: [flexcoders] Lucida Grande normal weight font cannot be embedded > > > Yea, I tried all kinds of combinations, including the expected fontWeight: normal; > > Ben > > > > > On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 10:08 AM, David Pariente <xxmapachexx@ yahoo.es> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm new at flex, but i recommend u to play with the type of the font, i mean the bold, normal states, cause by default, if not specified, flex use one of the styles, and if it's not the one that expected, it will not work. > > for example, if u use a normal typo, and don't specify the style of it, maybe flex consider its bold, but then, flex cannot find bold chars inside that font. > > Check for it...im not sure what style does flex actually uses for default, but i had that problem some weeks ago. > > Anyway there are a few true type fonts i still couldn't load, but i dont mind anymore cause those fonts also couldn't open on Flash...:( i think in my case it happened with a Myriad typo. > > > > ----- Mensaje original ---- > De: ben.clinkinbeard <ben.clinkinbeard@ gmail.com> > Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com > Enviado: martes, 20 de mayo, 2008 15:42:38 > Asunto: [flexcoders] Lucida Grande normal weight font cannot be embedded > > > > Has anyone done this?
