Hello,
I recently purchased altFont and using the
buttons that came with the DEMO stack all works fine,
using altFont to embed a font in my app.
I have been able to "SuckUp" the font in the IDE.
"SpitOut" the font from the button's custom prop. into the default
Folder.
Now all I want to do is "Load a font" from the default Folder!
Simple enough if a clicked button presents the User with a dialog
to navigate the the font, but I don't want the User to have to do that.
Why should they.
I know where the font is sitting - its in the default Folder.
So how can I replace the code below with something triggered by the
card script
to load the font automatically rather than the button...
--snippet of code
on mouseUp
answer file "choose a ttf file to load"
if it is empty then exit to top
put the fontNames into tOldList
put the number of lines in tOldList into tNumOfFonts
--> ONLY COMMAND FOR LOADING
XLOAD_FONT it
put the result into tResult
if tResult is not empty then
answer warning tResult
exit to top
end if
--etc. etc
I did get a solution from the altFont author Chris Bohnert, but it
lacked
enough comment for this newbie to understand how to use uFileName and
uEmbeddedFile and where to put the script...
Adrian,
The code you're using is very dangerously relying on the value of 'it'
remaining stable between the call to Answer file and the call to
XLOAD_FONT.
I'd leave your 'suck up' button in place (hiding it when you ship)
and do the following to load the font. The 'suck up' button sets the
uFileName custom prop and uEmbeddedFile.
put the uFileName of this card into tFilePath
--if you need to append a subdir struct into the path you can do it
now with
put "./mysubdir/" & tFilePath into tFilePath
put the uEmbeddedFile of this card into URL("binfile:" & tFilePath )
if there is a file tFilePath then
XLOAD_FONT tFilePath
else
answer information "Font missing"
end if
Any guidance would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Adrian
