RE: [Flashcoders] ComBox Box - Font Issues
I am setting everything before I add the data. However I have sorted the
issue out by setting the global style. I don't think its optimal - but it
works.
Here is my working code for reference:
var tClass:Class=
getDefinitionByName("GothamMedium") as Class;
Font.registerFont(tClass);
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Gotham Medium";
tf.size = 12;
tf.bold = false;
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts" ,
true);
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat" , tf);
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("fontFamily" , "Gotham
Medium" );
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("embedFonts" , true );
dob_txt.embedFonts = true;
dob_txt.setTextFormat(tf);
StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat" , tf)
Many thanks for all your help
Karim

Hi,
Are you setting these values before or after you add the data? That
may have a bearing.
Have a look at this article:

Which may / may not help?

Re: [Flashcoders] ComBox Box - Font Issues
Maybe the font is being embedded in your code AFTER you are displaying
the other fields that also use the font [which means the initial fields
are un-embeded]? Or it could be you forgot to make the 'embed' setting
true on all fields...?
Also, the order of 'embed' and then setting the text is important, can't
recall offhand what that was, but if you search the archives I gave the
answer to the order importance about a month ago.
Good luck!

Re: [Flashcoders] ComBox Box - Font Issues
this is getting stranger - I have tried a lot of things ( now slowly
looking at hacking into the input box component ). The odd thing is
that this works in the flash IDE - but not when its online / in the
browser - it just does not show the font.
Here is a link:
http://underground-bunker.com/transfer/fonttest/
The issue is with the combo box - on the right of the caption 'WHERE
DO YOU LIVE '
( its styled to be all white )
By default it should show some text "select country"
The font shows up in the combo drop down menu - but not in the input
field.
Surely it cant be this much pain to set the font of a combo menu.
I must be doing something really wrong somewhere.
var tClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("GothamMedium")
as Class;
Font.registerFont(tClass);
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Gotham Medium";
tf.size = 12;
tf.bold = false;
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);
cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", tf);
cmb_mc.textField.textField.embedFonts = true;
cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("textFormat", tf);
cmb_mc.textField.textField.defaultTextFormat = tf

Re: [Flashcoders] ComBox Box - Font Issues
I'm pretty sure the text field trick should work because it forces the
font to be registered. Just embedding fonts in your library won't be
enough if they are accessed via code only. To avoid the text field
trick you will need to use Font.registerFont() to make them usable in
your app. Something along the lines of:
var tClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("Gotham Medium") as Class;
Font.registerFont(tClass);
