I'm having trouble getting bitmap fonts to embed in my movie.
D7.0.4 Mac
My client has supplied PostScript fonts and wants them used in their CD
product.
But they don't show up in my Insert > Media Element > Font... dialog.
The tech note says:
> Issue
> When attemtping to embed a font in a movie (Insert menu > Media Element > Font),
>some fonts may not appear in the list of "eligible" fonts which are listed in the
>"Original Font" field.
>
> Reason
> Director can only embed fonts that have recordable outlines and not all fonts have
>these recordable outlines...
A search found no Fontographer tech note with 'recordable' as a keyword.
I used Fontographer to make a TrueType version of the font and edit the
16 and 18 point bitmaps.
I put the bitmaps in the suitcase with the outline and installed it on
my system. Works great, the 16 and 18 point look great. Embed the font,
specifically including the 16 and 18 point bitmaps, and they're not
making it. They display in neither field nor text members.
What am I doing wrong?
If I re-export the font from Fontographer as Postscript might it have
the 'recordable outline'?
