Flash fonts in Flex

[sobaka11]

Hi!
I'm trying now to convert font.tff into font.swf in Flash. I follow instructions in - Creating Flash 8 files with embedded FlashType fonts- http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000795.html tutorial. I've made 4 dynamic textfields with augustus.ttf font, embed letters in them(lowercase, punctuation), then exported into augustus.swf file. My code:

<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src:url("augustus.swf");---here is the error
fontWeight:normal;

fontFamily: myFont;
}
.myStyle1 {
fontFamily:"myFont";
fontSize:12pt
}

</mx:Style>

But the error is: font 'myFont' with normal weight and regular style not found

Why don't you use the CSS font embed to reference the TTFs directly?


// CSS
@font-face {
src:url("Arial.TTF");
fontFamily: customFontName;
}
Application {
fontFamily: customFontName;
size: 10pt;
}

Why don't you use the CSS font embed to reference the TTFs directly?In my experience this can cause the same errors if the font doesn't support a normal weight and regular style.

What font is it your trying to use and are you embeding just bold or something in your swf?

I'm trying to use augustus.ttf. In swf I've embed normal, bold, italic and bold-italic.

I'm having this exact same problem! Having realised that managing the fonts across a development team would be easier and (as Tink says) better quality, I've compiled a series of SWFs, and I'm now trying to embed them in Flex.

Problem is I'm getting: "font X with normal weight and regular style not found"

I'm sure I've got the right glyphs and weights embedded (normal, bold, italic, bold-italic), but Flex doesn't seem to agree.

also embeding it in a swf allows you to make certain the font does not alias.

Any idea what's causing the error though? :confused:

same problem here...
the font is apparently properly embeded though in the compiled flex application... at least a rotate on the text using that font works.
