Embed font example for CS3

I'm trying to use the following script to embed a font in a CS3 flash file. When I publish and preview it, all I get is a blank screen :S Can someone tell me if this script is valid for AS3/CS3?
Thanks.
package {
//import flash.util.describeType;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
   public class Test extends MovieClip {
      // be sure this is pointing to a ttf font in your hardrive
      [Embed(source="Arial.ttf", fontFamily="foo", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
      public var bar:String;
      public function Test() {
          var format:TextFormat          = new TextFormat();
          format.font              = "foo";
          format.color                = 0xFFFFFF;
          format.size                 = 130;
          var label:TextField         = new TextField();
          label.embedFonts            = true;
          label.autoSize              = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
          label.antiAliasType         = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
          label.defaultTextFormat     = format;
          label.text                  = "Hello World!";
          addChild(label);
          trace(label.text);
          label.setTextFormat(format);

Im not sure if u can do it with flash cs3.
i change a little ur code to :
package {
//import flash.util.describeType;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
import flash.text.Font;
   public class Test extends MovieClip {
      // be sure this is pointing to a ttf font in your hardrive
      [Embed(source="arial.ttf", fontFamily="foo", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
      public var arialfont:Class;
      public function Test() {
          Font.registerFont(arialfont)
            var format:TextFormat          = new TextFormat();
          format.font              = "foo";
          format.color                = 0xFFFFFF;
          format.size                 = 130;
          var label:TextField         = new TextField();
          label.embedFonts            = true;
          label.autoSize              = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
          label.antiAliasType         = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
          label.defaultTextFormat     = format;
          label.text                  = "Hello World!";
          addChild(label);
          trace(label.text);
          label.setTextFormat(format);
and it works fine with flash cs4, only first time it will ask to confirm flex sdk location ( have to have flex sdk to use embed, u can downlaod it free from adobe.com)
hope that helps

  • Embed fonts in Flash CS3 and load in Flex at runtime

    Hi,
    I want to embed fonts in the library of Flash CS3, compile it into a SWF and load it in my flex up at runtime and register the embedded font.
    I'm able to get the linked class in Flex but the font doesn't show.
    The FLA has a font called Viner Hand embedded as a library item, with linkage VinerHand and baseclass as flash.text.Font
    Here's the code in flex to register the font -
    var FontLibrary:Class = ApplicationDomain((event.target as LoaderInfo).applicationDomain).getDefinition('VinerHand') as Class;
    Font.registerFont(FontLibrary);
    When I do Font.enumerateFonts after this, I see [Font VinerHand] in the array but the textField doesn't show the font embedded.

  • 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.

  • CS3/AS2 -Text Scroll Box Cannot Embed Font, Need To Link Font From Server??

    Hi all - ok here goes somethin
    So I bought a text scroller flash file and am now trying to tailor it to my needs.
    This is it: http://activeden.net/item/dynamic-external-text-scroll-with-easing/2612
    It is composed of several movieclips which link to the an external text file. The external file starts off with this
    mytext= <font color="#000000" size="7">BACKGROUND</font>
    This file determines the size and color of the font but does not define the actual font itself, it also contains the content. There is a movieclip within the flash file where you can denote a device font or embed a font from the properties panel.
    Starting off I simply picked my font from the properties panel and used "anti-alias for animation". This seemed to work fine on the Flash preview and also once published online. However, once I used another computer to view my site the font changed and reverted to a default. This leads me to believe the font is linked to each computers font library. I am wondering if there is a way to override this and to link the font to a place on my server?
    I also tried to embed my font via the properties panel but it looks warped and unrecognizable, so thats out. Unless there is another way to embed fonts that stays true to the font?
    To add more fuel to the fire, the font I have to use is not html safe .. "Gotham" to be exact.
    You can see the issue here on the 'about' and 'links' page
    http://nicoleginelli.com/weeks/index_9.html
    Help meeeeee!
    - Nicole

    I tried this but the text looks warped and much different than it should. Seems anyway I embed it in the properties panel looks this way.. any other options??

  • CS3 JS fonts example script

    I've been changing the fonts example script and would like to apply the font type as the script creates the string of font names.
    I've added the line  myString.appliedFont = app.fonts.item(myFontNames[myCounter]); which should apply the font type but it does not.
    for(var myCounter = 0;myCounter<myFontNames.length; myCounter++){
        myString.appliedFont = app.fonts.item(myFontNames[myCounter]);
        myString += myFontNames[myCounter] + "\r";
    myStory.contents = myString;
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    John.

    Ok I might be going about this the wrong way.
    I ran the FontCollections.jsx which is in the SDK and I get a page with a textFrame and a list of the application fonts. The textFrame uses the default Time Roman typeface. The first font in my list is "911 Porscha    Regular"
    In my first post I thought that I might be able to apply the font type to each entry but I don't think this will work as it is a string.
    So is it possible to select the text in the textFrame app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "911 Porscha    Regular"; Then change the type face to match the description?
    Can this be done?
    John.
    I think this might do it  myTextChange[0].appliedFont = app.fonts.itemByName(myFontNames[0]);

  • Embed fonts not available error (But they are available sysetm fonts)

    Hello!
    I tried to search and actually did found some answers regarding font problems, but they did not help. So I am explaining here my problem in hope that someone can help me.
    My company bought a HP Xeon X3450 @ 2.8Ghz. @Gb RAM DD3 1333 with Windows 7 64-Bits version Professional.
    We installed Adobe CS3 Suite on Windows 7 64-Bits version and the problems with fonts started.
    We used to work with XP Professional before this new machine arrived and never had system fonts propblems with Adobe CS3 Suite.
    Basically, what happens is:
    When I try to open PDF files with embed fonts (system fonts susch as ARIAL for example) the program returns an error saying that the fonts are not installed/available, but checking the C:\windows\fonts, they are there and working fine on Office or other common application such as notepad for example.
    I tried the workaround I found on these very forums of copying the fonts to the folder C:\Program Fils\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and it still does not work.
    Formated the HD and then installed Windows 7 32 bits (x86) and still have the same problems. All updates were made and applied to Adobe and Windows respectively for both 64 and 32 versions and the error still happens.
    In resume, fonts are installed, they are system fonts but under Windows 7 64 or 32 bits versions they simply do not work when opening the PDF files with embed fonts.
    -The PDFs had no problems before while running windows XP Professional.
    -The PDFs open whithout any problems on machines with Windows Xp Professional.
    -This is happening specifically in Adobe Illustrator CS3 and CS5 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and 9.
    Please, I urge for help since we don't know what to do anymore.
    Thank you all who took time to read this and forgive my terrible english, it is not my first language.
    Best regards,
    Message was edited by: Andre Gurtovoi - Reason: added information.

    Andre,
    What I believe you have is 2 different versions of Arial, you old machine probably contains the version you need.
    By old version, I mean one could by true type(XP), and another Opentype (WIn 7), and the error comes up. Even though they have they same name (Eg: Arial Bold).
    There are even old version of fonts that are both of the same font technology format and have different FOND ID  numbers(Eg: Frutiger was one that I often encountered, but you don't see this problem that much nowadays).

  • How to discover all available font styles for a given family?

    I'm using InDesign CS3 and need to discover all of the available styles for any given font. I've found Application.Fonts.itemByName(), but this only returns a single font by the full name. Using ExtentScript in CS3 How can I ask for ALL font styles for any given font family (as displayed in the styles drop-down?)
    Thanks!

    take 4+ minutes to execute.
    app.fonts.everyItem().getElements(); did the trick, sweet!!

    or how did you find this solution?

  • How to embed font in Form Field

    Hi All,
    I have created Form with few fields,
    I have used Chinesh licience font in form field and content; and i embeded the font in the pdf.
    But, the font which i embeded is not appearing in the fields, and it's taking default "arial" instead of embeded(chinesh) font when i distribute the form to public users.
    Those public has different OS windows/mac and different acrobat version, when i check Document Properties/Fonts/ the font are embeding with pdf
    I know, If font not existing in local system, it would go to Arial, but i embeded the licienced font.
    Why embeded font not supporting particularly in FormField?
    I'm using Acrobat X Pro,
    Please help to sove this issue.
    Thanks in adv.
    Cheers,
    Saran

    Normally when you choose a non-base-14 font for a field, the entire font will get embedded so it can be used with the fields. This is separate from any font embedding for regular text content in the PDF. But in the case of asian fonts, I don't think Acrobat will embed asian fonts for use with fields since they can be quite large.
    Adobe distributes the Asian and Extended Language Font Pack so that users can fill forms, comment, etc. with the asian fonts it includes: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5508

  • How to embed fonts AND keep bookmarks?

    Hello, newbie here.
    I use MS Sql Server Reporting Services to generate a lengthy report, often over 100 pages. The report must be distributed as a PDF, and it must use some slightly unusual fonts, and it needs bookmarks. Reporting Services has a PDF rendering engine which can insert the bookmarks, but it cannot embed fonts (I'm using Visual Studio 2005).
    So after some investigation, I saw that I can embed fonts by converting the PDF to a Postscript (PS) file, then use Distiller to re-create the PDF with embedded fonts. A bit clumsy, but it works, EXCEPT that apparently the conversion to PS removes the bookmarks.
    So I am guessing that I'm going about this all wrong, and am hoping some one here can show me a better way. Oh yes, I have Acrobat 9 Pro and Distiller 9.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    You may be overcomplicating this. Hopefully, depending on which SQL report writer you use, you can configure it to embed fonts or at least a subset of the fonts at the time of the report generation. I have never had much luck with it outputting bookmarks so if you have mastered that, you have me beat. I took a section from my SQL report help on embedding fonts and and plagiarizing and pasting it below:
    Font Embedding
    When possible, the PDF rendering extension embeds the subset of each font that is needed to display the report in the PDF file. Fonts that are used in the report must be installed on the report server. When the report server generates a report in PDF format, it uses the information stored in the font referenced by the report to create character mappings within the PDF file. If the referenced font is not installed on the report server, the resulting PDF file might not contain the correct mappings and might not display correctly when viewed.
    Fonts are embedded in the PDF file when the following conditions apply:
    Font embedding privileges are granted by the font author. Installed fonts include a property that indicates whether the font author intends to allow embedding a font in a document. If the property value is EMBED_NOEMBEDDING, the font is not embedded in the PDF file. For more information, see "TTGetEmbeddingType" on msdn.microsoft.com.
    The Font is TrueType.
    The characters in the string that has the Font property set are Unicode, not ANSI. No font embedding occurs for ANSI characters.
    Fonts are referenced by visible items in a report. If a font is referenced by an item that has the Hidden property set to True, the font is not needed to display rendered data and will not be included in the file. Fonts are embedded only when they are needed to display the rendered report data.
    If all of these conditions are met for a font, the font is embedded in the PDF file. If one or more of these conditions is not met, the font is not embedded in the PDF file.
    Fonts on the Client Computer
    When a font is embedded in the PDF file, the computer that is used to view the report (the client computer) does not need to have the font installed for the report to display correctly.
    When a font is not embedded in the PDF file, the client computer must have the correct font installed for the report to display correctly. If the font is not installed on the client computer, the PDF file displays a question mark character (?) for unsupported characters.
    Verifying Fonts in a PDF File
    The fonts that are embedded in the PDF file are included in the Fonts property that is saved with the file, as metadata.
    To check if the font is embedded go to File/Properties/Fonts and see the status of the fonts, if they say embedded or subset embedded you are all set.
    lt me know where your process lets you down and I can try to help from there.

  • 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.

  • Can I embed fonts in a pdf document?

    I wish to publish a Pages document and to do this I need to convert it to pdf and ensure that my fonts can be embedded into the pdf document. I am not sure how to proceed. How do you embed fonts in PDF from Pages 4.1?

    Preview does a nice job of embedding fonts. You can open a pdf with non-embedded fonts in Preview and then print->save as pdf creates one with fonts embedded. I had seen this in MacOSX Hints originally and it works for me.
    For seeing what fonts are embedded (or not), pdffonts is a very nice utility, which i think now comes with poppler, or you can build from their git.

  • Embed fonts in PDF

    I want to publish a book on lulu.com which I created with MS Word for Mac. It must be in PDF format with embeded fonts.
    Firstly, how does one save a file as a PDF?
    Secondly, how does one embed fonts?
    Thanks!

    There are several ways to make a PDF. The best way is the one that will give you the result with the end in mind.
    If you're wanting to make sure the fonts are embedded & be used for Printing, I'd suggest making the PDF according to the PDF X-1a standard. This standard is set to do all the things you should need for a printer, except for making sure your images have enough resolution for printing.
    The full version of Acrobat Distiller has this setting as a default. It's much harder to make a bad file with the X-1a standard. Saving to a PDF out of Microsoft is risky sometimes because Micorsoft applications don't always translate in the most reliable way.
    Here's a website that can allow you to do it:

    I think there's no option for this. Though, using JRC's before the JRC included with Crystal Reports for Eclipse V2.0 will default to this behavior.
