Embed Font problem

I am having trouble using embedded fonts. Why do I get this
error message?:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property AntiAliasType
through a reference with static type flash.text:TextField.

Ah! That's it. Thanks!

Embed fonts problem

hi there
i need to embed quite a few fonts in my swf file - they are
all Trebuchet MS, but of different sizes, and some with bold on
i created a new font in the library for each font 'type', and
also set the linkage for ActionScript (load first frame)
in my actionscript code i create the text fields, but the
fonts for only two types seem to be loading (ie i see the text) -
none of the others load - something weird - i quit Flash, came in
again, and this time two different font types loaded, and the
original two (and all the rest) failed - weird huh? i definately
use the correct embedded font names, and i always set the
'embedFonts' attribute of the text fields to true, AND the font
size and bold is set correctly to match the embedded font required
note - i have NO text fields in on/off the stage created at
author time - i create everything dynamically at runtime using
ActionScript....
so, has anybody had any issues with loading embedded fonts???
please help me, i have a HUGE deadline this week!!!

actually, i think i have just discovered what is going on -
when you create a new font for the library, you specify a point
size - now, i thought this meant that for each point size of that
font i needed in my swf that i would have to create a separate font
entry in the library - it appears that the font size is
meaningless?!? i say this because in my code i can reference a font
symbol, but set the size to anything i want, and it is sized
correctly!! my missing fonts problem appears to be that flash
doesn;t load subsequent font symbols of the same type face, even if
they are differnt point sizes....
does that make sense?

Embed fonts problem - special chars

Hi,
i`ve got a problem, a can`t find a solution to embed Slovak
characters with actionscript. A want to display text what contains
variable text_to_display. The text displays, but the Slovak
characers don`t. I`ve tried with '.embeddedcharacters' param but ,
it`s dosn`t work to.
Thanks in advace for your help,
Andriska80

The characters you are trying to display are not in the font
you are using. For instance, in OpenType fonts there are different
version available like 'standard' and 'pro'. The 'pro' version
includes the characters you want to display, the 'standard' version
doesn't. And there even are special 'Central Europian' versions
with the characters you need.

Embed font source problem?

hi =)
recently, i was trying to embed fonts into my flex app... so,
i followed the normal procedure:
<mx:Style>
@font-face
src:url(" [ path here ] ");
fontFamily: "myfont";
</mx:Style>
but, irregardless of me putting this code within the mxml or
the stylesheet, the "src:url" just would not accept relative paths
to the font... in my case, it only works if i put the absolute
path... and, yes, the relative paths i placed were correct...
however, it's always telling me this : "
unable to resolve 'font_name' for transcoding" . i checked
the official site on how to troubleshoot this and all they tell is
to basically check if the path is correct... and i am very sure my
paths were correct and that the font does exist in that path...
what am i doing wrong? thanks in advance for replies!

Ok, make sure you're mimicking this:
http://blog.flexmonkeypatches.com/2007/02/23/using-runtime-css-to-change-embedded-true-typ e-fonts-at-runtime-in-flex-applications/#more-15
although I like this method better:
http://blog.flexmonkeypatches.com/2007/02/12/changing-embedded-true-type-fonts-at-runtime- in-flex-applications/
Now the trick is, whatever .as or .css file you make, you
have to drag that file over the mxmlc.exe icon to turn it into a
swf, and then Flex loads the swf.
Hope that helps.

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,

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 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.

Embed font in pdf/a

Hi everybody !
I'm working on a SAP project and i wish know how to embed a font in a pdf/a file. I can not use common methode to process it. I can not use Acrobat or Microsoft Word in order to embed fonts.
Is anyone knows how can i embed fonts in pdf/a ? i've try to use embedded file stream dictionary and File specification dictionary but it's not allowed in pdf/a.
I read many and many times the PDF Reference 1.4 in order to know how to use font in that file but i did not find something ...
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot
Noel Adrien

Hi,
I've not explain my issue enought :
My problem is that i use a standard program from SAP for generating pdf file. Then, i've to create a pdf/a file with this pdf.
And the two last things that i need to complete the file ( in respect with the ISO 19005 ) is managing colors and embed fonts.
Is anyone knows how can i embed fonts in pdf/a file without using any software ? Clearly, what are the changing in the file ?

How do I embed fonts into Captivate projects?

This question came up in May 2006 but was never really
answered. I'd like to know how to embed fonts into my Captivate
projects so that the output looks the same on all computers. While
the text animations are fine, the Text Caption fields are the ones
that seem to have fonts that go walkies on other computers. I know
you can embed fonts in PDFs. Why not in Captivate (unless I'm
missing something in 2.0).

First, a tip for the forums: If you use the URL tags, your
post won't require horizontal scrolling - sorry, but I use Firefox
and entering a long URL totally blows my ability to smoothly read
the post ... you can manually add a text link by using the "L" tag
as shown below (I've put spaces in to avoid this being turned into
another text link)
[ L = Your Text]
http://www.yourdomain.com [ /
L ]
Back to your issue, Charinos. I'm glad you did find the URL,
but that thread and your problem are not even in the same world.
That thread deals with fonts in text-entry boxes (boxes for
end-user text-entry), and you are talking about text-captions, an
entirely different object.
In fact, if you make changes and save those changes to a
text-caption, then publish the project, the fonts in your text
captions will remain stable and are not dependent on the fonts
installed on the end-viewer's machine. The reason is that when the
SWF is compiled, the text captions are converted to images and so
long as the file is viewed as intended in the HTML document - at
the proper size - the stretching you describe cannot take place.
I'm not saying you are seeing things, but if my understandings of
the Captivate machine are correct, what you are saying is happening
cannot
be happening. Something else is going on, like a failure to
save changes, use of non-conforming text-caption boxes with a
resultant loss of margins, or something.
Sorry I'm not more help. I can't duplicate what you are
seeing but I hope someone else can help you out - I may still be
misunderstanding your issue.

Can I embed fonts of all Dynamic Text objects in a Flash file?

Hi there!
I'm fairly new to Flash, so please bear with me.
I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000893.html) I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.
I hope someone can help me. If you are able to help please spell things out in simple steps!! I am aware that I probably haven't yet grasped a number of the basics of Flash.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Static text doesn't need to be embeded. So I'm not sure what the problem you are having is. The page you linked to is for making an embedded font in your library that can then be exported for actionscript and used by code and style sheets. If you are following the instructions on the page you liked to you only need to do that once. Which shouldn't be too hard.
That is usually a different problem that having a bunch of different authortime created textfields that need to have characters embedded.
As far as I know your only hope to change a bunch of authortime/library items is using JSFL. So even if the thing I pointed to isn't exactly what you need you could keep googling a bit or use that as a template.
JSFL files are just text files so open it in note pad. Look for the line:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip")
and change it to this:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip" || it[i].itemType=="button")
Now it does buttons. You give up too easy.

Completely Embed Font (not Subset) in PDF several methods not working

Hi,
I have an Illustrator CS5 file, on a Windows 7 PC.
I have used "Save As" direclty from Illustrator, also "Print" with Distiller and finally the Acrobat Pro 9 "Preflight" "Fixups" to Embed Fonts.
This has included setting subsetting to 0% and in the "Print" dialogue when using the Distiller method, changing the font dropdown to "Complete".
I do not want to convert my font to outlines, because of the changes this causes. I do not want to subset - but completely embed the fonts.
This is driving me insane, and I really would appreicate any suggesstions. Please help!

Thank you for your excellent posts. I am saving your posts for future reference.
I e-mailed the printer and got this reply:
"A 100% font embedding is actually not possible in most InDesign versions and in fact Adobe’s product never do it. It is really a bug from Adobe and it doesn’t work! Subsetting is therefore also perfectly fine and doesn’t pose a problem at all for printing."
I think the instructions from their website are rubbish. They seem to do this to cover their own backs / make statements that aren't true just to keep everything simple, so that truly idotic people can still create PDFs to send to them for printing. Whenever I e-mail them, I get intelligent replies, that usually contradict the rubbish on their website.
They accept PDF-2008, so their workflow can't be that old, I guess. (I'm a designer, I just know the minimum required about print technicalities!)
Our previous printer wanted everything in PDF-X1a, and subsetted fonts, and they had no certifications of any kind, yet we always got good results from them.
onlineprinters.com say this about their certifications: http://www.onlineprinters.com/Certified-quality.htm?websale7=diedruckerei;02-aa&tpl=02-aa/ $ws-cms/uu_certicied_quality.html&type=zertifizierte_qualitaet_hnavi_b
and they say they have the latest gear from Heidelberg and KBA:
http://www.onlineprinters.com/uu_offset_printing.htm?websale7=diedruckerei;02-aa&tpl=02-aa /$ws-cms/uu_offset_printing.html
and have 40,000m2 of production space. I think they know what they're doing, but whoever writes the website should be fired!

Re-Fry a PDF to embed fonts

Posted in Acrobat forum, but I think this group is pretty on the ball, and faster.
Received a 6 page file, customer requested we run plates. My normal quick checks; Properties, check fonts, most were not embedded. Run a preflight, all images were below 100ppi. Informed customer, a print shop, to send it back, use a correct options set. Received a replacement file, exactly the same low res, no embed. When they cannot get it right after trying, I normally fix it myself.
Not to long ago, I would have placed the pdf’s into InDesign and exported a pdf with fonts; easy, squeezy, lemon peezy as the commercial goes. But, as I try to use the "correct" tools for the job these days, not pound a screw with a hammer, I utilized Acrobats Preflight > Fixups > Embed fonts. Analyze & Fix. Done, fonts embedded. Place the fixed file, RIP plates.
Got the call - fonts crammed, mostly instances of Times New Roman lower case ff.
I’ve built a visual of the Source PDF (small section) original file, without fonts, Acrobat’s "Fixed" file, and an InDesign Export of the original, sans font, file.
Any idea why Acrobat messed this up? I have done the InDesign place and export on two different machines with identical, good results btw. (Not sure about image size, open image in new tab shows large)
Acrobat 9 Pro, Vista PC

The original pdf's properties showed the document was created with Pagmeker 6.0. I actually cannot recal how PM went to pdf...subsequently imposed by my client via Quite Imposing.
No firm advice from the Acrobat forum as of yet.
It's just frustrating when, in the course of trying to use the "proper tools", a problem without a solution causes the loss of a few hours.

PDFMaker font problem

Can anyone offer any advice on how to debug a font problem?
I am using a (shareware) symbol font on my Windows XP system. It works great in FrameMaker, and comes out perfectly in Frame-generated PDF files.
Unfortunately, I also have to convert Excel spreadsheets to PDF, using the same font. When I generated those PDF files with PDFMaker, the font characters all show as little squares. I checked MS Word as well, and it has the same issue.
I've checked the font properties in the generated file using the TouchUp Text tool in Acrobat - the font is recognised and embedded. If I try to make changes, I get this error message:
"Some of the characters in the current font are not available, the missing characters will be replaced by place holder characters (maybe dots '.').
"A work around to this is to select another font which contains the characters in the TouchUp Properties dialog.
"Proceed with replacement?"
I'm using Office 2007 under Windows XP Professional. The font is shareware and unsupported. I'd bet my bottom dollar that the problem isn't in PDFMaker, but I don't know a whole lot about fonts, and I'm not sure how to debug this.
Can anyone offer any advice?

If you go to the general tab in the Adobe PDF printer properties, there is a button for printing preferences. Select that and go to the Adobe PDF Settings tab. There should be a check box for leaving the log file intact there. You can also simply print to the Adobe PDF printer with print to file selected. Then open the file in Distiller and watch the messages created (these steps are automated if you do not print to file).
You can also check the fonts in the PDF (use ctrl-D, font tab). If they are embedded, that information is stated in parentheses. If there is no statement of embedding, then it did not get done. That is not necessarily an error if the job settings are not set to embed the font.

How to use textfiled to display one string that some characters are embed font support some not

hi everyone
i try to use embed font on a textfield,however,the embed font can only support limit character glyphs.
so i was think is it possible that if the font include character,i use that font,if not include,i use default system font
like the text function on http://picmonkey.com
if i want to use embed font to textfield,i have to set textFiled.embedFonts=true
however,if i did that,the characters not included in font can't not be displayed,even i change textformat.font="_sans"
so how to solve this problem?
what did picmonkey do?

use textFiled.embedFonts=false

Embedding unicode font problem

Hi All,
       I am developing a flex application for Tamil language. I want to use tamil text in all the controls.
When I embed a tamil unicode font with the application, it doesn't render the text properly because of the glyphs.
@font-face {
            src: url('assets/latha.ttf');
            font-family: 'latha';
            unicode-range:
            U+0054-U+0054,
            U+0061-U+009F,
            U+002E-U+002E,
            U+0B80-U+0BFF;
        .MyEmbeddedFont {
            font-family: 'latha';
            font-size: 18px;
Is it possible to render the glyphs fonts correctly in flex?
Can any one help in this?
thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply.
The embed font is working fine. The tamil characters are displayed in controls if it doesn't contain any glyphs. It is the problem only with the glyph characters.
The used font contains glyphs and works well in other platforms.
In my flex application the glyphs are rendered incorrectly.
I tried the recipe that you have written in the cookbook. But it is not resolved?
Do you I need to update any settings in the compiler?
Or I anything need to be added in the code?
