Good point, though, it is a custom font that I created specifically for this project-- so not a legal problem.

Also I retract my last message, member().html definitely does NOT render any font NOT installed on the user's system.
(I know, this project is making me crazy, but...)


This has been a tricky one to accurately detect, because when embedding the font, it is on the system. As long as the font is on the system, pointing to the embedded font SEEMS to work properly. But what is really happening is that Director is looking at the INSTALLED font, "MyCustomFont" on the system, even though the font is set to "MyCustomFont *" embedded inside Director.

The problem does not show up until I uninstall the custom font from the system, and then it displays incorrectly upon rendering the HTML-- Director completely drops the <font face="MyCustomFont *"> tags around the special characters needing the custom font.

Has anyone ever dealt with HTML in Director and special characters??? Any other solutions?


You may run some legal risks with what you're trying to do. Some fonts are not allowed (legally, not technically) to be installed on the user's machine, so you can use it in the projector any time you want, but you can't install it into the system.
