Re: [Flashcoders] Font embedding with Regular Bold versions
Thanks mate, but kind of defeats the purpose of choosing a different font than a system standard, need the embedding for correct display.

You could try adding your fonts in the library: Right click in library, add New Font, set your settings and load it like a normal Class HTH cor -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of dopeco...@hotmail.com Sent: zaterdag 29 mei 2010 15:25 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Font embedding with Regular Bold versions Thanks mate, but kind of defeats the purpose of choosing a different font than a system standard, need the embedding for correct display.
