Re: [flexcoders] Include fonts in RSL Flex2
We've been working on something similar in a thread called embeding fonts at runtime although i'm not sure it's exactly what you want. Some of it might be useful. First check to see if the font is actually there using
Font.enumerateFonts(). Second, we're currently looking into whether the embeded font name needs to be the same as the actual font. If the other thread is close enough jump on it, otherwise I tell you if anything comes up that may be applicable.

RE: [flexcoders] Include fonts in RSL Flex2
Think I figured part of the problem out. Seems
Darron Schalls blog post is still valid as I am able to get this to work
on Label or Button components but TextArea (which I first tried) is a different
story. So it seems that TextArea is doing something under the covers that Label
and Button dont.
Any ideas?

RE: [flexcoders] Include fonts in RSL Flex2
Thanks!
I did quickly scan through the thread you
mentioned. Very interesting stuff but I didnt see anything exactly like what I
needed.
I wasnt aware of the
Font.enumerateFonts() functions so I will look into this.
Right now I have it working 90% at least.
Biggest issue is the TextArea which doesnt work with my embedded fonts but
Button and Label do! Go figure L
I think my biggest problem all along was
that I was testing with only the TextArea component once I started testing
with Label and Button components things started working but still dont work
with TextArea components.
I will keep an eye on the thread you
mentioned though, very cool stuff!
Thanks,
Lance
