Adding additional fonts to RichTextEditor

Question

Hi,
i'm quite new to flex and trying to customize a
richtexteditor element. now i'd like to add more fonts to the
richtexteditor, is this possible and if yes how?
at the moment i embedded the font, but how can i import it to
the rte?
quote:
[Embed(source='BOD_R.TTF', fontName='Bodoni MT',
mimeType='application/x-font', flashType='true')] private var
myFont:Class;

Answer 1

I can't get this to work either. This surprisingly, seems to
be a huge hole in Flex. The RTE can be assigned 1 embedded font,
through the RTE's fontfamily attribute. But, if you utilize the
fontfamilyarray, your embedded fonts, if they are non-system fonts,
are basically ignored. I've search high and low, and noboday has a
fix for this. I saw a posting on the flex bug's web site, but
someone said it was supposed to act this way... Which really throws
me for a loop, so basically its supposed to be broken then. Below
is a reference to what I've been able to do. I think I'm pretty
close, but of course nobody actually knows how to get multiple
(non-system) fonts to work in the RTE.
<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src:url("AABIGFICTION.swf");
fontFamily: "AABIGFICTION";
@font-face {
src:url("Baskerville_Old_Face.swf");
fontFamily: "Baskerville_Old_Face";
</mx:Style>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function returnHandler():void {
RTE.fontFamilyArray = ["AABIGFICTION",
"Baskerville_Old_Face"];
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:RichTextEditor id="RTE" title="Title" width="440"
height="368" creationComplete="returnHandler();">
*NOTE*
*IF you assign the fontFamily within the RTE to 1 of the
embedded non-system fonts, it will render the font.
*Below AAGBIGFICTION will show, but you will not be able to
use any other font.
