Re: [flexcoders] Embedding/visualizing special characters issue
Funnily enough it was just the font missing the characters. What was driving me crazy is that Flash IDE when putting the textfield in the field was generously embedding another font to render the missing characters. So the textfield created in the IDE was magically embedding two fonts and was able to render all the characters. Cheers, chr 2009/3/20 Peter Farland pfarl...@adobe.com: Hey Christian, Make sure there are no null chars 0x00 in the String as the display of such Strings are truncated at the first null char. What version of Flex are you using? Are you using an @font-face to embed your font? If so, can you post a snippet showing the complete @font-face rule? Can you provide the fontsmanagers section of your Flex SDK /frameworks/flex-config.xml? Also, you could try adding -Dtrace.font as JVM args to get the compiler to print out more debug information about embedding fonts while compiling. If you're using mxmlc.exe, you can add these to the java.args property in the /bin/jvm.config file of your Flex SDK.

RE: [flexcoders] Embedding/visualizing special characters issue
For ANT, you may have to provide the arguments using the jvmarg as child tag to mxmlc or compc instead of relying on /bin/jvm.config, e.g. something like: jvmarg line=-Dtrace.font/ Pete -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Christian Giordano Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 10:41 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Embedding/visualizing special characters issue I tried to add the parameter to the java compiling but doesn't seem to work.
