Embed Font in a List Control

I have no problem embeding fonts to be used in dynamic text
but I cannot get my style to apply to a list control using AS3.
My style code is:
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
var menuStyle:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
menuStyle.color = 0xFFFFFF;
menuStyle.size = 20;
menuStyle.font = new CKTerzini().fontName;
menuStyle.letterSpacing = 1;
menuStyle.align = "center";
StyleManager.setComponentStyle(List, "textFormat",
menuStyle);
My list control code is:
my_list.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
//my_list.setStyle("textFormat", menuStyle); DOES NOT WORK
my_list.setRendererStyle("textFormat", menuStyle);
I also have the font added to the library and properly
linked. (Class name set to CKTerzini).
This code works fine with the font on the system but not on a
computer without the font.
I have tested that the font is embed in the SWF by using the
style on dynamic text and it works fine.
Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed...

Can you post the code for your list, renderer and custom control?

Problem in changing List control's font..!!

Hi.. I'm having this problem where if I take a listbox & add 15 items to it & change the font of each item in a loop
using the function below, it works perfect..
//sets font for every item in List used in the application
     private void SetListBoxItemsFont(List lstBx)
          Font FONT_APPLICATION = Font.getFont(Font.FACE_SYSTEM, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_SMALL);
          for(int i=0;i<lstBx.size();i++)
               lstBx.setFont(i, FONT_APPLICATION);
     }     but now if I clear the list control & add 5 items(less than the earlier one)
and call out the same function to change the font.. it throws an error..

        numOfEls++;
        if (choiceType != Choice.MULTIPLE &&
                (elementNum < selectedIndex || selectedIndex == -1)) {
            selectedIndex++;
            hilightedIndex = selectedIndex;
        } else if (elementNum < hilightedIndex || hilightedIndex == -1) {
            hilightedIndex++;
        setImpl(elementNum, stringPart, imagePart);
        return elementNum;
    }I've marked line 1402, but that line relates to the images array. However, 5 lines down, line 1407 is concerned with the fonts array, so I'm assuming the code I have is slightly different from the one compiled to the ChoiceGroup.class used by NetBeans.
This is the declaration, with comments, for fontEls, the fonts array:    /**
     * The array containing the Font of each element (null if no setFont()
     * method was ever called). If fontEls is non-null, only the elements
     * which were set by setFont() are non-null.
    private Font[] fontEls;So this becomes apparent: fontEls is non-null after setFont() has been called. Now review the code block around line 1407:            if (fontEls != null) {
                System.arraycopy(fontEls, elementNum, fontEls,
                                 elementNum + 1, numOfEls - elementNum);
            }BUT... nowhere in the code do I find a new array being assigned to fontEls, EXCEPT in the setFont method, and that too only once... here's List.setFont    public void setFont(int elementNum, Font font) {
         cg.setFont(elementNum, font);
    } and ChoiceGroup.setFont    public void setFont(int elementNum, Font font) {
        synchronized (Display.LCDUILock) {
            checkIndex(elementNum);
            if (fontEls == null) {
                fontEls = new Font[numOfEls];
            fontEls[elementNum] = font;
    }With this knowledge, I reduced your code to the smallest possible that should demonstrate the bug -- and I did get the NullPointerException thrown by ChoiceGroup.insertImpl. This is the code I tested:package dayson;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Font;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.List;
public class TestList extends List {
    final Font FONT_APPLICATION = Font.getFont (Font.FACE_SYSTEM, Font.STYLE_PLAIN, Font.SIZE_SMALL);
    public TestList () {
        super ("", List.IMPLICIT);
        append ("", null);
        setFont (0, FONT_APPLICATION);
        append ("", null);
}I think this makes enough sense to submit a bug report to Sun. Would you like to do the honours? Do post the bug ID here, I believe there's a system of voting for bugs -- the bugs with the most votes get fixed soonest.

How to Embed Fonts and make Grayscale in Acrobat Pro 9 PDF

I supplied my printer with a PDF but he says that I need to "Embed The Fonts" in the PDF.
I made the original document in MS WORD and then I created the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 but nowhere
along the way did I see anything that asked me to Embed The Fonts.
He also says that the type is in RGB but it needs to be in Grayscale.
When I created the PDF I didn't see any option along the way that gave me a choice between
RGB and Grayscale.
Any ideas how to achieve these two effects while going from an MS WORD document to a PDF using
Acrobat Pro 9 please?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry to bother you with my problem but I wondered if you could explain a little bit more about things I didn't understand.
1 - you said > On a Mac there is no advantage to using the Word plug-in.
Do you mean that I can type directly into Acrobat?
I thought that a document needed to be created in a word processor first before I could turn it into a PDF.
Is that incorrect then?
2 - > Create the pdf file a print file menu gives you greater control.
I do apologize but I did not understand this statement either, could you please expand on it a little (to a non-techie.)
3 - > If you use the Press job option setting, the fonts will be embedded.
I can't find Press job option setting anywhere - I am using Acrobat pro 9 but there doesn't seem to be a menu with Press
anywhere, could you please expand on this a little bit too please.
4 - > If the pdf file has already been created it can be converted to greyscale using the Preflight or Convert Colors
under Advanced -> Print Production.
I understood this part and I executed it according to your instructions so thank you for that.
Unfortunately I couldn't find out how to embed my fonts and my printer charged me $75 to do that
so I was pretty upset about not being able to understand that part of your explanation.
Since the printer was able to embed the fonts in a document that was already a PDF then it must be possible
to embed fonts after a PDF has been created, is that correct?
If that is correct then i don't know how I could not find how to do it because I looked everywhere for that
ability but I could not find how to do it.
I'd be very grateful for any further help you could give, thank you.

How to embed fonts in document for all users

Hello,
we are using a custom font for our documents. I know it's possible to embed fonts in document when saving.
Is there an option to enforce this setting with a policy?
I cannot find the right policy in the Office Policy templates.
We are using Office 2013 x86.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, the option is document-based, we can't control this on the Policy level.
If your request is to turn on this option for all new created documents. Since all new documents are based on the Normal.dotm template, a workaround is to create a new Normal.dotm template in which this option is checked:
Browse to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, open Normal.dotm, tick the option and save it as Normal_1.dotm, save it in the same location.
Then rename the old Normal.dotm to Normal.old, rename Normal_1.dotm to Normal.dotm.
Open Word and create a new blank document, you will see this option is ticked.
To deploy this file for all users, we can write a startup script. The process is like: 1. Remove the old Normal.dotm, 2. Copy the new Normal.dotm template from a network shared location to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
I hope the information is helpful to you.

Melon Chen

How to embed Font in as3?

Hi guys,
I want to embed font "RUPEE_FORADIAN" in as3?
how can i do that?
can you please tell me?
Thanks in Advance!!!!!
Regards,
JaxNa

This is for a text that you had on the stage
i) I hope you have the font RUPEE_FORADIAN installed in your system, if yes, then drop a textfiled on stage and check whether you get the list in the font box and use embed button.
This is the code in AS3 for a text that you have created dynamically:
var myFont = new Font1();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.size = 15;
myFormat.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
myFormat.font = myFont.fontName;
myFormat.color = 0xAA0000;
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.defaultTextFormat = myFormat;
myText.type=TextFieldType.INPUT;
myText.selectable = false;
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
myText.text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
//myText .setTextFormat(myFormat);
myText.border = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
myText.width = 150;
myText.height = 40;
myText.x = 100;
myText.y = 100;
myText.autosize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT ;
stage.focus= myText;
addChild(myText);
Make sure you have the font with the class name "Font1" in the library. or create the one from the library menu.

Embed fonts when saving as eps

Hi
When saving a file as an illustrator eps I would like the default option to NOT embed fonts.
Does anyone know if this is achievable and, if so, how to do it?
Cheers
Wayne

Hi John
Thanks for your input.
I'm aware of the benefits of embedding fonts in Illustrator files but, to cut a long story short, files with fonts embedded show up as an error when put through the flightcheck application program. (And I have tailored the Ground Controls to suit including disabling the embedding fonts option.)
Kind regards
Wayne

How to find out the Embed Fonts and PostScript details?

Could you please advise me how to get the saved below "EPS Options" details(need to find out wheather the checkbox option is true or false) using "Adobe Illustrator CS4" via scripting. I have attached the screen shot for more details.
Embed Fonts(for other applications).
Include CMYK PostScript in RGB Files.

I have just had a quick look and think that you can make both of these checks by reading the EPS file head.
If an RGB document was saved with "Include CMYK postscript in RGB files" then the following line should be present in your EPS file head.
%%DocumentProcessColors: plus the names of the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black seps that it makes…
I think your going to have to open the doc anyhow to check the color mode though…
Like wise you can also check fonts by the lines…
%%DocumentNeededResources: or %%DocumentNeededFonts: these will be empty if the fonts are embedded or a list if needed…

Force "Save As" Dialog to enable "Embed Font" check box

We're trying to initiate the save as dialog from the sdk but we want to be able to force the "Embed font" option to be checked upon entry of the dialog.
If the user has used "Save As" before and manually checked the box, it will remain check. However, if it has not, we can't find a way to force it on. It appears Illustrator is saving and restoring this status in its own way but we can't seems to be able to find a way to control it from the SDK. Anyone knows how to do that?
Thanks.

This is really unbelieveable that Adobe is apparently unable to detect the version of Windows that they are running on and alter the Dialog box to suit! I can only imagine that their code base is so bad and riddled with old legacy stuff that their developers are unable to make this change without breaking everything. In which case, why even bother to bump to a new major version of X ?
Why do we support this?
Chris Cox, your answer of "We've been trying to - but we still have to support XP and Vista." is unacceptable. You know how to detect that you are running on Windows 7 and you can still support XP and Vista. Any developer out there know this.
MAKE THIS CHANGE NOW !!

Embed Fonts in forms

Hi there,
I designed a xdp using a font called Walt Disney Script v4.1 (you can find it online for free) and i'm trying to embed it but never appears. It is installed in my LC server and in the adminui (Services -> Forms -> embed fonts) i typed his name. The font is editable....
Anyone knows the problem?

I tried it here and duplicated the issue ......thereis an XCI file which controls certain paramaters in the creation of the
PDF. In the default XCI file Font embedding is set to false (I guess to reduce the size of the templates). You can create your own XCI file and use that one to create your PDF and have Font embedding set to on.
There is also a setting in adminui under the Forms Server Service option that you can name fonts to always embed .....I believe that changing this will need a restart to caus eth eoption to update.
Hope that helps

Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Embed Fonts

I would like help imbedding fonts on LiveCycle ES2. I create forms on this program and when the forms are viewed on other computers on "Nitro" pdf reader, the fonts are substituted to whatever is available on those computers. I would like to lock the type in place so that it isn't changed automatically and you can't read half of the form. When searching help, it listed to use LiveCycle Administration Console to embed fonts by visiting:
(JBoss) http://localhost:8080/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
(WebLogic) http://localhost:7001/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
(WebSphere) http://localhost:9080/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
None of these work. If there is a way to stop the fonts from changing using LiveCycle, I would like to try. IT department has already looked in to all alternative fixes outside of the program.
On Windows computer
Using Adobe LiveCycle ES2
Being opened on Windows computers on virtual desktops with limited font selections
THANK YOU!

FB 4 is not part of the LiveCycle installer. If you would like to customize the workspace or write Flex appications in LiveCycle you would need the Flash Builder to be installed. If you evaluate the software you can download a trial from the adobe.com homepage under software download for free.
If you purchase a licensed component from LiveCycle you will be entitiled to install up to 5 workstations with the FB 4 software
hope this helps

Displaying icons in List control

Hi everybody…
I am trying to display icons in List control:
<mx:List id="wEuropeList" width="100%" height="100%"
color="blue"
dataProvider="{wEuropeXML..client.@label}"
change="changeHandler(event)"
borderThickness="0"
iconField="{wEuropeXML..country.@flag}"/>
I know I am an idiot but please help me to make it
work….
Thanks

Icons are not natively set to allow runtime images. So trying
the method you are now won't work just because by default when your
Flex application compiles it looks for that icon to embed with it.
There are two ways you can essentially get around this. A) is best
described by Ben Stucki with his post
here B) would be to use
an itemRenderer that uses an Image Control and pass the source to
that. Either one should do the trick. Hope this helps.

HELP!! cannot seem to embed fonts

<mx:Style>
@font-face{

id="d_mail" color="#FFFFFF" borderStyle="solid"
borderAlpha="0" styleName="mystyle1"></mx:Panel>
This is my tale of frustration. I've tried every which way
but loose, within the AS3/Flex docs to embed fonts. Once I set the
style of the control or container to mystyle1 it justs defaults to
"BL***Dy" Times Roman.
Please save a man from going mad.

Don't put quotes around the fontFamily. It should read:
fontFamily: aArial;
.myStyle1 {
fontFamily: aArial;

Window/Mac embed font

I don't understand why, when I check my website on BrowserLab,
the embed Font (AndaleMono) chosen by me is not the correct one.
It happens, since I work with mac and FireFox 3.6, in the window browser tests.
Do you know why my font is not charged on the window side?
How can I do?
-"Font1" is the class name of my Font in the library, "cb" is the instance name of a combobox on the stage-
Thank you very much.
   var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
   var andale:Font=new Font1();
   textFormat.font = andale.fontName;
   textFormat.size = 13;
   cb.textField.setStyle("textFormat", textFormat);
   cb.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", textFormat);
   cb.prompt = "select:";
   cb.rowCount = 10;
   cb.dropdown.rowHeight = 20;
   cb.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", textFormat);
   cb.setStyle("textPadding", 1);
   addChild(cb);

Thank you Kglad
but if I do so, the combobox show my XML list not correctly.
"select:" disappears and the list is showed like:
S         instead of    SATURO
SSS    instead of    SUSHI-SET
this is the code now:
   var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
   var andale:Font=new Font1();
   textFormat.font = andale.fontName;
   textFormat.size = 13;
   cb.textField.setStyle("textFormat", textFormat);
   cb.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", textFormat);
   cb.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);
   cb.textField.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
   cb.prompt = "select:";
   cb.rowCount = 10;
   cb.dropdown.rowHeight = 20;
   cb.setStyle("textPadding", 1);
   addChild(cb);

How Do You Populate A Spark List Control With An Array?

Hello, all,
Sorry to come accross so frustrated, but how in the name of God do you populate a Spark list control with the data in an array? You used to be able to do this with the mx:List control, but the guys developing Flex just had to make things more difficult than they need to be! I am more of a code purist and prefer doing things the way they have been done for decades, but apparently nothing can ever stay simple!
I simply want to populate a list control with an array and this shouldn't be rocket science! I found out that I must use a "collection" element, so I decided that an arrayCollection would be best. However, after searching Adobe's documentation about arrayCollections, I am lost in a black hole of data binding, extra lines of code just to add a new element, the need to sort it, etc...!
Here is my code:
var pendingArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
for ( var i:int = 0 ; i < queue.length ; i++ )
     var item:UserQueueItem = queue[i] as UserQueueItem ;
     if ( item.status == UserQueueItem.STATUS_PENDING )
     pendingArray.addItem({label:item.descriptor.displayName,descriptor:item.descriptor});
Here is the relevant MXML:
<s:VGroup>
     <s:List id="knockingList" width="110" height="100"/>
</s:VGroup>
I'm not getting any errors, but the list is not populating.
I have seen several examples where the arrayCollection is declared and populated in MXML:
        <mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC">
            
            <fx:Array id="myArray">
                <fx:Object label="MI" data="Lansing"/>
                <fx:Object label="MO" data="Jefferson City"/>
                <fx:Object label="MA" data="Boston"/>
                etc...
           </fx:Array>
        </mx:ArrayCollection>
That may be fine for an example, but I think this is a rare situation. Most of the time I would image that the arrayCollection would be created and populated on the fly in ActionScript! How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone can give!

In your post it seemed like you were trying to take care of many considerations at once: optimization, design, architecture. I would suggest you get something up and running and then worry about everything else.
If I use data binding, then I will probably have to declare the arrayCollection as a global variable and then I'll have to write 100 or so extra lines of code to addItem(), removeItem(), sort(), etc... It just seems like too much overhead.
I believe you may have some misconceptions about databinding in general. You won't have to make it a global variable and you certainly won't need an extra 100 lines of code. If you did this forum would be a very , very quiet place.
I don't want to use data binding because the original array is refreshed often and there is one function called by an event that re-declares the arrayCollection each time, populates it with the array, and then sets it as the list's dataprovider.
That is the beauty of the ArrayCollection, it can handle the updates to its source Array. I don't know if you need to redeclare the ArrayCollection, resetting the source to the new Array allows everyone involved to keep their references so you don't have to worry about any "spooky" stuff going on.

How do I add a new font to the list?

In "Tools/Options/Content/Advanced" how do I add a new font to the list? I have "Comic Sans MS" listed for one of the options, but the drop-down menu does not contain that option, so I can't select it for another font option.

Thanks for your reply.
As to your question: No, of course I wouldn't scroll down, it's in alphabetical order, so why would "C" for Comic Sans MS be anywhere but between B and D on the list?
Now a question for you: If person or group was going to alphabetize a list and then break it down into sublists, why would he, she, they not include headers for each portion and maybe even indent each font name, so a person might have a chance of getting the drift?
Also, how do you add new fonts to the list?
