Director 12 iOS embedding fonts

Hi,
I'm trailling Director 12 and carefully considering it before handing over such a large amount of money.
I like being able to use Director 12 to publish to iOS. I am however lost because I can't embed fonts and can
only use fonts available on the iOS device. For the work I do, embedding custom fonts is required.
I know it's unlikely, but does anyone have any information with regards to if the font xtra will be included
in the next hotfix and allow embedded fonts for iOS?
Thanks
Richie

Same problem.
I bet 10 bucks that when Adobe will fix this issue, magically, Director-developed iOS apps will run on iOS 7 without crashing.

Embedded fonts not working in Air for ios

hi

we are using the swf method for embedding the fonts , after loading the xml and even got the embedded resourses from swf , the output is not showing the exact font used , instread it is displaying one of default ios fonts in place of it...
here is the code of my embedded fonts and we are using TLF for text output:
....inside my loaded swf: -

Upgrade from Director 10.1 to 11.5 embedded font issues

I just upgraded to 11.5 for Mac. When I opened an existing file I developed in 10.1, the embedded fonts went bizarre. I had Times embedded and it did some strange substitutions like the "i"s are in a totally different font as are the question marks. The whole font sets were embedded. No subsetting. Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on?

One of the new features in Director 11.x is a new text engine that does Unicode. Whether it is an improvement or not is up in the air. Anyway, it has new problems. It is quite common to have embedded font problems with projects updated from Director 10. Generally, you can fix them by deleting the embedded font and re-embedding it in Director 11. Just keep the same menber name and it should be fine.

"what does it take to get final apps working on an iOS 7 iPad"
Well most of the school made tutorials that i've seen over years, didn't really have too much code, so it may not take much at all to get it working - it might even work straight away.
There's always some work required - but the pay off will be worth the effort.
Problems to look out for :-
can't use 3rd party xtras,
can't use embedded fonts,
can't have easy keyboard entry (you'll need to redesign everything for touch),
scroll text fields need a bit of reworking,
11khz sounds files need to be set higher,
some 8 bit graphics bomb out,
there are some lingo commands that just seem to bomb out the app (work around these with other lingo commands!)
embedded Flash objects need a little bit of work to get them working right,
videos need to be in swf format.
If you're only running them on (in school) iPads - i'd say go with the side loading option.
best not to bother with the app store - if you can.
There are a few other enterprise options that might also suit.

Hi Josh,
Were you able to solve your issue with the fonts? I'm having the same issue but only when I go to publish the epub on Kindle Direct Publishing. When I view it through their previewer none of the fonts display. It seems like they display the default Kindle fonts. If you found a solution, please share

When opening DIR files I get a long delay while Director "Builds True Type Fonts"

Running 11.5 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8
When opening DIR files I get a long delay while Director "Builds True Type Fonts"
Anyone know how to work around this?
I've got all the fonts in my library and embedded in Director. (Do I need to dump them from my DIR? Dump and reinstall?)

Two bits of advice:
1) Pare down your code to no more than 30-50 lines. Enough to compile and show the problem, but not so much as to make our eyes bleed, and for no one to want to read your post or help you.
2) You would be wise not to state that your problem is "urgent". Even if it is urgent to you, realize that it is not urgent to us. Many here take offense to this as it implies to them that a) the poster thinks that his post is more important than everyone else's, and b) that the poster wants to put pressure on the volunteers who come here to help on their own free time. Just a friendly word of advice.
I'll be happy to help when you've posted a reasonable amount of code. Good luck!

Embedding fonts in Bridge (Photoshop CS5)

Hi folks!
I'm sorry for posting but I still have trouble with creating PDF via Bridge.
I have sveral PSD-Files (CS5 made) using several image- and textlayers.
Now I want to create multipage-PDF using Bridge that comes with PS CS5.
Works fine so far but Bridge does not embed those fonts used in the PSD!
Seems to me Bridge just merges all layers to one pixelbased image and saves it in PDF-format.
But that's no good deal!
In CS2 there was a much better solution in PS2 allowing to create multipaged PDF with embedded fonts.
Is there any chance to embed fonts with Bridge?
Plz don't tell me to use Acrobat or InDesign because I'm only using PS CS5.
Thx!

The problem is that i need to embed fonts, by this fontFamily="Arial" you can set font name which you want, but if i set font name which is embedded it won't work, like : fontFamily="ttf"
the embedded code is :
[Embed(source='/Resources/majallab.ttf',fontName='ttf',mimeType='application/x-font',embed AsCFF='true')]
var font1:Class; //This is only used to compile the code
I use Flex SDK 4.5,
what can i do ?
Thank you in advance,
amt

To use embedded fonts in a Flex component, the fontFamily for the component needs to be set to an embedded font that is in the same SWF as the other embedded fonts in the TextFlow. See my blog for more details

Hi Jin-Huang
          But when I use Simple ASProject with SDK 4.1 then it works fine but when I create Flex project then it give error
with SWFContext.
I think it's a issue of swfcontext or AS comunication with Spark components.
Please let me know if any solution.
Thanks

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)

Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
Hi there!
we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
here we are missing ther german umlaute.
When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
Here the code:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
//... database logon,.....
InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
//... write the stream some where

The helper class using IText:
import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
public class PDFHealer
 public static InputStream heal(InputStream in) throws DocumentException, IOException
 try
 ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(in);
 // we retrieve the total number of pages
 int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
 // step 1: creation of a document-object
 Document document = new Document();
 // step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document
 PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, out);
 // step 3: we open the document
 document.open();
 // step 4: we add content
 PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
 int i = 0;
 while( i < n )
 document.newPage();
 i++;
 PdfImportedPage page1 = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
 cb.addTemplate(page1, 0, 0);
 // step 5: we close the document
 document.close();
 ByteArrayInputStream ret = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());
 out.close();
 return ret;
 finally
 in.close();

My computer is on a local network. When I access my computer as a local user, Firefox does not render any @font-face embedded font correctly for any website.

I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling, creating a clean profile, and other things. The CSS is correct because it works for every other supported browser...event this particlar installation when used with a network login. Other computers on our network (but not ALL) seem to have similar problems, but only when someone logs on to the machine locally (not via Windows Active Directory).
The browser attempts to render the embedded font, but it appears jagged, so it's not that the CSS isn't getting seen, the browser just doesn't render it smoothly. Are there any particular settings that I should look at? On every machine I've tested, both the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled (true) and gfx.use_text_smoothing_setting (false) configuration settings have been the same.
I realize that there could be some differences regarding network local computer policy for network logins vs. local logins, but I have no idea how that might pertain to Firefox specifically.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See '''Creating a profile''':
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Indeed, I was unaware of the enormous number of options that can be selected when converting a WORD file to PDF.

Why do PDFs created with some print presets show the error message "cannot extract embedded font."

Whenever I create a pdf from InDesign using a press-quality preset, I get an error message upon opening the file. The error message says that an embedded font cannot be extracted.
InDesign indicates the font is not present in the file.
In Acrobat's properties, the font in the error message is listed and shows that it is not embedded, and that the actual font is unknown.
Running the "embed fonts" from preflight fixups doesn't help.

Found this fix in Preflight: Under prepress, I selected my destination, which is sheetfed offpress (CMYK) and ran the analyze and fix. The updated file opened without the error message.
