Can we apply embedded font in extension to a text layer of Photoshop ?

Hi All,
I have embedded some fonts into my Flex extension panel of Photoshop.
Can I apply these fonts to any text layer?
Kindly help URGENTLY!
Thanks,
D.A

Here are 3 options for future reference:
1. With the setup you've described, apply a Match Move behavior to the text and make the rectangle the source. Change the Transform parameter to Mimic source. This way you can still adjust the text postion as needed, but the rectangle will drive the animation.
2. Use a group to do the animation. Put both your rectangle and text in the same group and animate the group's postion.
3. Use the Link behavior.
Each of these has it's advantages depending on what you need.

Unable to undo applied embedded fonts

Hello All,
I have application with text box created with container controller and textflow.
Also I have applied embedded fonts dynamicaly using
styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations2(url,false);
but after this when I try to undo, previous font is not get applied.
When I debug the application, i fonund that generation is number is mismatch.
please anybady know why it is? When I apply different font size or any other property link color, Undo works properly.
Thanks,
Vikram

Undo can only undo those changes that are inside operations. If there are direct model changes (changes resulting from an API call that is NOT in an operation), this will cause a generation number mismatch. Undo will be blocked because the model has changed. I would suggest finding out what it is you are calling that is incrementing the generation number, but is not inside an operation.

2014.3 -Can't apply drop shadow (or other effects) to text, however I can apply effect to shapes, Why?

I'm new to Muse, but have always been curious to try it. Today I updated to Muse CC 2014.3 after watching the "up and running with Muse" videos out on Lynda.com
I'm not sure if it's something i'm not doing correctly, but I can't apply drop shadow (or other effects) to text, however I can apply effect to shapes just fine, why?

This has to do with the way we set text to be rendered in the browser. You are able to apply a drop shadow to system fonts (which will be rasterized to an image in the browser), but currently web safe fonts with drop shadow aren't supported in Muse because we still support IE8 and IE9 -- which don't support the shadow effect for text. One sort of work around is to use two text frames, one which holds your text and one which has black coloring with opacity less than 100% applied to the text that gets set behind and offset to your text to appear as though it were drop shadow, while keeping your text live. Group them together and moving them shouldn't throw off your design too much.

Unable to apply embedded font swf to text in text layout framework

Hello,
We have created a swf for a given font (for e.g., Calibri.swf) which contains all the styles (Regular, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic).
We have created a xml which lists the name of the font and the corresponding swf file path. The names from the xml are loaded into a combo box in the application.
When we try to apply the selected font to a text in the text layout framework, it does not apply the same. It sets the font to default "Times" font.
Following is a snippet of code to apply the font to the text:
private function selectFont(fontXML:XML):void {
                var path:String = fontXML.@source;
                var myEvent:IEventDispatcher = styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.url.substring(0,FlexGl obals.topLevelApplication.url.lastIndexOf("/"))+"/"+path);
                myEvent.addEventListener(StyleEvent.COMPLETE, function(event:StyleEvent):void{
                    var editManager:EditManager = textFlow.interactionManager as EditManager;
                    var itextLayout:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
                    itextLayout.fontSize = 20;
                    var fontName:String = fontXML.@name;
                    Alert.show(fontName);
                    itextLayout.fontFamily = fontName;
                    Alert.show( "itext = " + itextLayout.fontFamily);
                    editManager.applyFormat(itextLayout,itextLayout,itextLayout);
                    var flowLeafElement:FlowElement = textFlow.findLeaf(editManager.anchorPosition) as FlowElement;
                    editManager.changeStyleName(fontName,flowLeafElement);
Can anyone please let us know what is missing in the implementation?
Thanks in advance.
Vikram

My recommendation: unless you really care about ISWFContext implementations and the application domain issues, ignore Alex's post about embedded fonts.
It is a nice discussion about the inner workings of the domain and security of how this works but it is imho broken and is an insane concept to require an ISWFContext to just use an embedded font. It also breaks runtime CSS loading that has fonts embedded in it because the Flex compiler (last I checked) was also busted – it doesn't include the function necessary to create within context the font embed so that it may be applied. You can't create an ISWFContext with a compiled CSS file.
These issues were introduced in the last Flex SDK beta before FB4 was released in final form. There are multiple bugs logged against the issue of applying loaded font files to TLF text (in short, SWFContext is broken and you have to override GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction to return embedded or null, all the time).
Here's some more details to get you started - with links to at least one of the SDK bugs that were filed:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2656152
For example:
import flashx.textLayout.elements.GlobalSettings;
import flash.text.engine.FontLookup;
GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = function makeValid():String { return FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF };
And you may need to do this after your font is loaded:
yourTextBlock.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
Disclaimer: I haven't seen the latest Flex SDK release to see if this was fixed. I have an AIR application with native process that builds embedded font SWF files for use and stub code for FB4 usage but haven't updated to the latest SDK yet to see if it's working properly.
Anyhow, your best bet is to look at the Flash Builder forums. I think this is/was a Flex team issue, not TLF.

Can't get embedded font to work on Button

I'm trying to use an embedded font in order to fade Panels as
well as the text in the Panels. I have the following code to set up
the embedding (using Edwardian Script so I can be sure the font
worked):
<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src:url("C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ITCEDSCR.TTF");
fontFamily:myScript;
.scriptStyle {
fontFamily:myScript;
</mx:Style>
This works fine when I apply this style to Labels using the
styleName property, but when using it on a Button, I get a really
fuzzy/ugly text, as though the font didn't work and some bad
default were used, that didn't scale to the small size very well.
I've also tried directly setting fontFamily directly on the
Button control, rather than using the intermediary style
(scriptStyle).
Is there some restriction about using embedded fonts on
Buttons?

Hi,
I was just looking for answers to my own question when I
noticed this, which was giving me a problem earlier this week. I
found that the default text for a button is 'bold' so if you
haven't specified a bold embedded font, then it won't look good. I
just got around it by specifying a 'normal' fontweight for my
buttons.
I would imagine that, after all this time, you've probably
found the answer, but thought it might help anyone else who is a
couple of weeks behind me on the learning curve ...

Can't apply -fx-font-weight: bold;

Hi. I'm trying to apply this style to Labels :
.label {
-fx-text-fill: gray;
-fx-font-weight: bold;
The gray fill is ok , but bold weight doesn't work.
I'm using MacOS JavaFX 2.1 b17.
Am i doing something wrong ?
thanks
Edited by: mschoenfelder on 2012-03-22 11:27

I can't reproduce this, the -fx-font-weight:bold style works fine for me when set either in code via setStyle or in the exact same external stylesheet you supplied (WinXPsp3, JavaFX 2.1b17, JDK7u4ea).
My guess is either:
1. It is a Mac specific bug.
2. The default font used by JavaFX on the Mac does not support bold (seems really unlikely).
3. You are not copying the correct version of your stylesheet to the binary output directory you are running the application from (most likely).
4. You are not correctly loading the required stylesheet.
5. You are otherwise overwriting the style somewhere else.

(How) can I use Embeded Fonts in Flex 3.3

If I understand correctly, I need to transcode/embed the fonts in Flex 4 / CS 4, but is there any way to then get those embeded fonts into a Flex 3.3 application?

Support for DefineFont4 (the cff property) is new in Flex Gumbo. It is not available in Flex 3.X. That said – I do have a solution for you. Create a separate Flex Gumbo project and use the cff property to embed the font you need into that SWF. Then embed the font SWF that you just created in Gumbo into your Flex 3.3 application.
Check out the “Building a Font SWF for use in any Flash Application” section in my DefineFont4 blog post:
http://blogs.adobe.com/tlf/2008/11/embedded_font_subsetting_using.html
Here is an article on embedding a SWF in Flex:

Hope this helps!

ASDoc Error: Can't find Embedded Fonts?

Hello,
I am working in Flash CS5 Professional.
On my stage, I have a dynamic TextField (my_txt) that uses a basic font, we'll say Arial. However, I want to format some of the text within the field with a custom font.
I've embedded the font and exported to ActionScript as per Adobe's documentation, so now there is a Font item in my library named "MyCustomFont".
The properties of the Font are -
Class: MyCustomFont
Base Class: flash.text.Font
So, I've written a custom class file and I want to format the text, so the AS code within the class looks something like this:
var my_font:Font = new MyCustomFont();
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = my_font.fontName;
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt, 5, 15);
This is pretty much like the examples I've seen in Adobe Docs. And, it works swimmingly when I test the movie; however, when I try to document the class using the ASDoc command line tool, I get the error:
/Path/To/Project/And/The/Classes/SomeClass.as(221): col: 27 Error: Call to a possibly undefined method MyCustomFont.
var my_font:Font = new MyCustomFont();
^
I THINK I understand why ASDoc isn't finding the "method" MyCustomFont... the "method" is actually a Class contained in the Library within the .fla.
So, is there a special argument I need to write in the ASDoc command line so that it will recognize embedded fonts?
Or, am I supposed to use an "import" statement in SomeClass to import the embedded fonts somehow?
Thanks!

Ahhh...found the answer, do the same thing as I would do for any project that uses the built-in AS3 components (such as FLVPlayback):
Put the Font items into a new .fla library and export a SWC.
Then use the "-library-path /Path/to/SWC" argument in the ASDoc command line tool.

Apply embedded fonts to special characters in spark textArea using tlf

By setting fontfamily directly to textarea in mxml fonts get applied to special characters. But using tlf and setting fontfamily it does not apply.
style.css ::
@font-face
    src: URL("/Assets/Fonts/GandhariUnicode-Bold.otf");
    fontFamily: "GandhariUnicode-Bold";
    embedAsCFF: true;
snippet of source code ::
textArea.textFlow.interactionManager.selectRange(beginIndex, endIndex);
var textLayoutFormat:TextLayoutFormat = getTextLayoutFormat();
textLayoutFormat.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
textLayoutFormat.fontFamily ="GandhariUnicode-Bold";
textLayoutFormat.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;

Please try the code as follows.
(1)
[Embed(mimeType="application/x-font", exportSymbol="GandhariUnicode-Bold", embedAsCFF="true", fontWeight="bold", source="Assets/Fonts/GandhariUnicode-Bold.otf", fontName="gandhariUnicode-Bold")]

Can't print embedded fonts.

I am printing from Word 2013 to Adobe 11.0.3 with 'embed all fonts'. When I print the resulting .pdf to my HP6700, text in Calibri font doesn't appear or appears intermittently. If I don't use 'embed all fonts' it works fine.

We will assume for the time being that by Adobe 11.0.3, you really mean Adobe Acrobat 11.0.3!
Without actually seeing the problematic PDF file, it is very difficult to determine exactly what the problem is.
We also assume that the printing is done from Acrobat 11.0.3 as well.
What happens if you try printing to another printer, preferably a different model, same problem?
Without being able to actually see what is in your PDF file, there are two things we would or could advise:
Check whether there is a newer printer driver available for your HP 6700 printer. If there is, install it and reboot your computer. See if printing is any more reliable now.
The preferred method of creating PDF from Microsoft Office applications if you have Acrobat 11 is to use the Save as Adobe PDF function (from the File tab screen) or the Create Adobe PDF from the Acrobat tab on the ribbon that Acrobat installs. Also ascertain whether this assists.

How can I change the font in which my emails text are recieved

Regardless of what font style I choose when compiling an email it is always recieved by the recipient in the same default not very good style, I cannot find anywhere under options etc where I can change this. I did not have this issue when using Outlook Express on my previous computer.
regards
J.A.Smith

If you're concerned about setting a specific font in outgoing messages, then I think the Stationery add-on will be useful to you. You can set up a template with explicit font specifications (but do bear in mind that not all fonts are available on all computers. We don't all use Windows!)
My experience is that the default html formatting in Thunderbird sets the size but not the face. Your recipient's email client, not being able to find a formal font request, will offer up whatever its default is set to, often Times Roman on a Windows system.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/stationery/
The trouble with this add-on is that it gives you a means to employ templates, but leaves you to your own devices to generate or obtain any. Most users would already be using stationery templates acquired for use with OE and wouldn't be concerned with creating their own.
I use one that contains this:
<code>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style type="text/css">
body {
text-align: left;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: medium;
color: black;
background-color: white;
</style>
</code>
You can insert specific font faces and sizes to suit.

BUG : Can't change properties (font, size, etc.) in Text Box (Acrobat Pro Extend 9.3.4)

Here is a bug in Acrobat 9. It's really frustrating :
1- Open any PDF file.
2- Select the Text Box tool and type something.
3- Notice that you can change the font using the Properties toolbar (CTRL + E).
4- Open a second PDF file.
5- Select the Text Box tool and type something in this document.
6- Notice that you can change the font using the Properties toolbar (CTRL + E) also.
7- Switch back to the first opened PDF file.
8. Try using the Properties toolbar.
YOU CAN'T BECAUSE THE TOOLBAR IS DISABLED!
There is nothing you can do to make it enabled again.
This bug seems to be present since Acrobat 8 and the Acrobat Developper Team did not fix it yet. I am a programmer and I know that you need only 5 minutes to fix this bug. WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET???
It's horrible to deal with this bug...
I hope Acrobat Developper Team heard me and will fix this ASAP.
Thank you.

We have had tons of discussions about this problem. I would love it if Adobe would fix this problem. In the meantime, one thing we are testing in our environment, and we think it is successful, is to set Preferences to "never view in PDF/A mode'. Maybe that can help you.

Embedded fonts do not display (-) in text

Hi all,
I have embedded few fonts in my project.
Some of them do not display - in text. Those fonts also fails in winword, word is also not able to transcode - in those fonts.
In word it shows that block instead of -. Any idea how to display - for these type of fonts.
Fonts are GillSansST,HelvesticaST,SnellST.
Thanks,
-CK

I found that problem was with fonts it self only.
When fonts were generated - was not included in it.

Can we apply embedded font in extension to a text layer of Photoshop ?
