Re: [Flashcoders] Error when trying to embed a font
The only thing I can suggest is looking at Lee Brimelow's tutorial on using [Embed] for fonts.

RE: [Flashcoders] Error when trying to embed a font
Hi Kttu. :) Actually, that video is what got me started with trying to use Flash CS4 to embed a selection of characters, rather than the whole thing. Unfortunately it doesn't contain any answers to the problem I am having. Embedding the whole font, by making it into a Library Symbol, seems to be the only solution.

Hello Matt. :) Yes, it's a Type1 font. .pfm So Flash only allows the embedding of True Type (.ttf) fonts then? Okay.

Good morning. (Well.. it's morning here anyway.) I'm having problems with creating a font .swf file, to use for sharing a font between some Flash movies. One of the fonts I want to embed is Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk Medium. In the font .swf's FLA file I'm trying to embed it like this: [Embed( systemFont=Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk, fontName=AkzidenzMedOTF, fontStyle=Medium, mimeType=application/x-font, unicodeRange=U+0021-U+00FF )] var akzidenz_otf:Class; Font.registerFont(akzidenz_otf); And I keep getting the error: exception during transcoding: Font for alias 'AkzidenzOTF' with plain weight and style was not found by family name 'Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk' I'm working in WindowsXP, Flash CS4 and it's a Type1 font. I've tried various settings for the fontWeight and fontStyle and nothing seems to affect this error. I've also tried not using systemFont and instead setting the source path in the Embed to C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/gfm_.pfm, which is this font's source file on my machine, and it throws the same error. Any ideas on what I'm dong wrong and how to fix it.. if it can be fixed? Thank you. :) Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Specialist mailto:amur...@delvinia.com amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 214 King Street West, Suite 214 Toronto Canada M5H 3S6 P 416.364.1455 ext. 232 F 416.364.9830 W www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.

Re: [Flashcoders] Error when trying to embed a font
You could try directly referencing the TTF or OTF file with the 'source' argument instead of using the 'systemFont' argument: [Embed( source=/Path/To/FontFile.TTF, HTH, Ian On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 1:31 PM, Andrew Murphyamur...@delvinia.com wrote: Good morning.

Re: [Flashcoders] Error when trying to embed a font
Sorry! My poor reading! The normal reason for such errors is that the name of the font (when using systemFont) does not exactly match the name your system thinks it should be. This can be complicated by font variants - you say you've already tried combinations of fontStyle, fontWeight etc. Have you tried those variants within the name? Could it be something like the name should be Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk Bold and you should have fontWeight set to bold? Have you tried Font.enumerateFonts() to list what fonts your Flash Player thinks is available on your system, and what their names are?

RE: [Flashcoders] Error when trying to embed a font
Hi again, Ian. :) I have tried a few different variations on the font name, but I hadn't tried using Font.enumerateFonts() to list the system's names for the fonts. Thank you for that suggestion. :) I gave it a try, listing out the fontName and fontStyle props and ended up with this: name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE Bold style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE BoldEx style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE Ex style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE Light style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE LightEx style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE LightOsF style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE LightSC style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE MdEx style: regular name: Akzidenz Grotesk BE Super style: regular I'd already tried Akzidenz Grotesk BE but just in case I gave it another try, like this: [Embed( systemFont=Akzidenz Grotesk BE, fontName=AkzidenzOTF, mimeType=application/x-font, unicodeRange=U+0021-U+00FF )] var akzidenz_otf:Class; Font.registerFont(akzidenz_otf); And it throws the exact same error. However I have managed to get it working, sort of, by just creating Font Symbols in my FLA's Library. It means embedding the whole dern font, rather than a smaller subset of characters, but at least it works. I guess this is solved. More-or-less. Thank you for your help. ^_^ Andrew Murphy Interactive Media Specialist amur...@delvinia.com Delvinia 214 King Street West, Suite 214 Toronto Canada M5H 3S6 P 416.364.1455 ext. 232 F 416.364.9830 W www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.
