------------------------------------
Summary: comma separated fonts in fontFamily don't work with
embedded fonts
Key: FLEX-34122
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34122
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Embedded Fonts
Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)
Reporter: Michael Grove
Priority: Minor
if you specify a fontFamiy with a single entry that is an embedded font, such as
global {
fontFamily: HPSimplified;
}
this works correctly. the HPSimplified font is used when it can render the
characters being displayed, and a fallback, apparently Times New Roman, is used
otherwise.
if you specify a fontFamily that is a comma separated list of system fonts,
things also appear to work correctly.
global {
fontFamily: Arial, Verdana, Times;
}
Arial will be chosen above. if i replace Arial with an unrecognized font, like
foo, Verdana will be chosen.
things stop working when my fontFamily indicates preference for an embedded
font followed by system fonts:
global {
fontFamily: HPSimplified, Arial, Verdana, Times;
}
here i find that Arial is always used. i've never seen my embedded font chosen
when fontFamily contains a comma separated list.
my intent is to use the HPSimplified font whenever possible, but failing that,
to select the font to be used in a reliable, deterministic manner. the only
workaround we've come up with is to programmatically set the fontFamily to a
single entry based on the locale (e.g. if en_us use HPSimplified, if zh_cn use
...).
