RE: [flexcoders] Re: OpenType Fonts in Flex 2?
I'm not sure if that will work, it's all about what Java will support by
default. It may support Type 1, not sure. Sorry for not having more
info...

I'm very happy to finally find this answer. Wow that threw me for a
while Alright then, I have a Type 1 font (pfm/pfb) that I
converted to OTF. Since OTF cannot be used, how about the PFM?

Subject: [flexcoders] OpenType Fonts in Flex 2?
Please forgive me if this topic have been brought up before, but
I
have not been able to locate any threads, so I'll bring it
forward...
We have no trouble embedding TruType Fonts in our Flex app, but
OpenType Fonts does not compile. Is this simply the way it is -
no
support for OTF in Flex 2 or are we missing something?
For reference, we are using a .css file to embed the fonts. As a
syntax example, the following entry will compile fine
@font-face {
src:url(fonts/gara.ttf);
fontFamily: Garamond;
font-style: regular;
}
However, replacing the font with an OTF font like this
@font-face {
src:url(fonts/AGaramondPro-Regular.otf);
fontFamily: AGaramondPro;
font-style: regular;
}
throws a compiler error:
exception during transcoding: Unexpected exception encountered
while
reading font file '/U:/bnielsen/init/app/flex/fonts/AGaramondPro-
Regular.otf'
If anyone on the list can offer any advice, it would be much
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
