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.

  • 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.

  • Embed Font Option

    Hi there illustrator friends,
    I'm from COGEN-Belgium and I am looking for a way to have the option "embed font" ticked on by default on save instead of save as, when working on an .eps document... any idea?
    Thanks for your participation.
    Regards.
    Alain

    Thanks Jeshua,
    For a better understanding, one has to know that we translate contents of illustrator files.
    We do that by extracting any editable text from the files with an illustrator to word bridge-routine of ours, translate it, then re-put the translated text to its original place in the file.
    The thing is that the option is on when the original source file is created.
    The problem happens when we reopen the document for dtp after we have passed our routine.
    It seems that the action switches the embed font option from on to off.
    Any idea how we can get the files to be saved with the option on without having to do a save as is welcome.
    Cheers.

  • 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 :

    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!

  • Not embed fonts saving as pdf

    Hi everyone
    Just a quick question.. before I start to dig myself.
    We save our LC design forms in the source format .xdp. When we publish them we select File > saveAs and choose dynamic pdf.
    but LC designer will always embed fonts in the pdf. We have to open our pdf in LC designer a remove 'embed font' under File > Form properties (this can only be fone to a pdf, so we need an additional save as ZZZZZZZ).
    Question:
    Anyone have solution on setting LC designer ud to not embed fonts when saving and xdp to dynamic pdf? is the a config file or registry setting to edit?
    help is very welcome
    Regards
    Thomas Groenbaek, Form Expert
    Jyske Bank

    hi Jyske,
    What you can do is to add the following line in the .tds (template) files that Livecycle uses:
    <?templateDesigner SavePDFWithEmbeddedFonts 0?>
    and this just before the closing </template> element in the xml source.
    You find these templates in the <Livecycle Designer Installation folder>\EN\Templates

  • 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

  • Font source path and vendor id

    two questions
    1.
    Since the step from 1.4 to 1.5 my old font folder is no more accepted by
    MakeOTF. It stops compiling the font by the status "Running txlib...".
    Him - I downloaded the examples and all works fine. So I`d copied my
    fonts paths into the "Example Font Sources" directory and MakeOTF runs
    like MakeOTF 1.4 before. But how can I change the path - so MakeOTF will
    operate from each path my font files stored?
    2.
    How can I apply my vendor ID to the font - of course I can extract the
    table form the font, can use an hex editor and place it back. But I like
    to do it with MakeOTF. I have checked the adobe samples and the vendor
    id is ADBE in the final font. But I haven't find any code in the feature
    files changing this value. If I compile my own fonts the result is UKWN
    - unknown. The values from the source pfa and fontinfo file will be
    ignored by MakeOTF.
    (I use the Windows SDK)

  • Embed Fonts in forms

    Hi there,
    I designed a xdp using a font called Walt Disney Script v4.1 (you can find it online for free) and i'm trying to embed it but never appears. It is installed in my LC server and in the adminui (Services -> Forms -> embed fonts) i typed his name. The font is editable....
    Anyone knows the problem?

    I tried it here and duplicated the issue ......thereis an XCI file which controls certain paramaters in the creation of the
    PDF. In the default XCI file Font embedding is set to false (I guess to reduce the size of the templates). You can create your own XCI file and use that one to create your PDF and have Font embedding set to on.
    There is also a setting in adminui under the Forms Server Service option that you can name fonts to always embed .....I believe that changing this will need a restart to caus eth eoption to update.
    Hope that helps
