Embedded a korean font in Flash

Hello !!!
I would like to embedded a font thanks Flash CS3, in order to
get a .swf that handle the italic and bold korean font (is
possible, one that looks like lucida for the latin characters).
I’ve tried several that seemed to handle the korean but each
time I end with square characters when I test it :( Furthermore I
couldn’t find the fonts given in this post (
http://typophile.com/node/19036).
I also have corectly "embedded" the special characters on flash..
still not work !!!
Does somebody has an idea where I could find a character
table or directly which font use for korean or where to find .swf ?
Thanks a lot !!

I have created an English brochure for a client, and the same brochure was translated into German. Now I am being asked for a Korean version. Can someone provide some guidance on how best to proceed in Adobe Indesign CS5? I gather that I use Apple Gothic or another font... but it doesn't show up as Korean. Also, is Korean a vertically read font?
Korean is occasionally set vertically, but it's an extremely old-fashioned technique outside of a few limited areas - some ads, the spines of books, et cetera.
To be honest, I'd say "package your InDesign file and send it to a firm or freelancer that specializes in English to Korean translation, with experience in the subject matter of your brochure." It sounds like you are asking for automated machine translation within InDesign; ID has no such ability. There are ways to flow automated machine translations into ID documents, but you're most likely to find those tools in the hands of translation agencies anyways.
No matter where you get your translation done, I'd advise against you trying to typeset the Korean yourself - there are issues with Korean in English-language ID. Without some careful setup, ID will treat Korean characters as if they were Chinese, and will break Korean words in incorrect locations instead of at spaces.

Does Embedded Fonts in Flash Builder 4 work?

Does emmbedded fonts actually "work" (display) in Flash Builder 4?
Reason I am asking, I tried to embed fonts in Flex 3, but no success.
FYI:
It was an open license True-Type Font.
I followed this tutorial
http://carvalhar.com/#/en/blog/190/embedding-fonts-flex/
Also, Adobe's Flex in a Week videos.
Used this function:
            private function displayEmbeddedFont(name:String):void
                var font:Object = systemManager.embeddedFontList[name];
                Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(font), name + ":");
To determine if the Font was embedded, and the font was "embedded".
However, the font was not display.

Korean font not displaying correctly. Internationalization Issue

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is an internationalization issue but I have an Adobe Air project that isn't displaying Korean correctly. I basically have created a MovieClip in Flash CC with a textfield child. When this movieclip is instanced in Air, it's text is dynamically assigned from a web service. The font used works fine except for Korean so we had to switch fonts when using Korean text. This is where things get interesting. If I try to programmatically change the textformat.font to use the Korean font, the font switches but just the Korean characters aren't supported. However if I set the textfield's font to the Korean one in Flash CC, everything displays fine. The font is embedding the same in both instances and is including 'All' characters.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I have to add a flag for Korean support somewheres in the build settings. I've created work around for now which has two textfields, one with the font we need and one for korean only. As the data from the webservice is parsed it detects for Korean characters in the string and if it finds them it makes sure the Korean textfield is used. Kind of a dirty way to do it but it doesn't seem to like changing the font family around.
Anyone else notice this?

It's the latest AIR 15 SDK with the Flex framework.swc and framework_fb.swf added for binding support
I overwrote the code since it was only a couple lines but here's what I was doing for the way that broke
var tf : TextFormate = this._sknPageShield.pageName.getTextFormat();
tf.font = "Arial Unicode MS";
this._sknPageShield.pageName.setTextFormat(tf);
The font changes because english characters showed up, however even though I click embed all fonts, korean characters do not display. I have to set the font on the textfield using the Flash CC tools and it works fine.

Bold font in Flash not showing in SWF

Hiya,
Sorry if this is a dumb question - I'm not an expert with Flash.
I'm adapting an off the shelf mp3 player and would like to make some text bold - namely [see: http://www.stevedrake.net/music_09] the text that shows the current artist/song at the top.
This is dynamic text from an XML file. I've embedded the fonts [Verdana regular and bold - OpenType] in Flash CS5 but the bold won't display even though the special characters do display [Jónsi].

I know what you mean, the outlines embedded should be thicker because we "think" it's embedding the fonts as 2 separate classes. I don't think it's this simple internally. You can see in the font manager it groups fonts variants (regular/bold/italic all under the same font name). Internally it's actually keeping track.
This is actually behavior I don't mind. My example was more complex than it needed to be. I like when fonts just map properly and actually all you need to do is set the .bold flag and it will automatically use the bold version of the font that's embedded. That tells me they're internally linked.
e.g.:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var useBold:Boolean = false;
// fonts
var gRegFont:Font = new GRegular();
// handler
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick);
function handleClick(e:MouseEvent):void
    useBold = !useBold;
    // fix Flash's desire to mass-apply, set twice
    tf.bold = false;
    myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf, 0, 16);
   // now handle bolding
tf.bold = useBold;
    myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf, 17, myTLFTextField.length);
// TLFTextField init
var myTLFTextField:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
addChild(myTLFTextField);
myTLFTextField.x = 10;
myTLFTextField.y = 10;
myTLFTextField.width = 400;
myTLFTextField.height = 100;
myTLFTextField.embedFonts = true;
myTLFTextField.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
myTLFTextField.text = "This is my text: This is affected by format";
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat(gRegFont.fontName,16,0x0,false);
myTLFTextField.setTextFormat(tf,0,myTLFTextField.length);
I don't even need to set the .font property at all. Internally it's linked and that works fine. I'm not even instantiating the bolded version, it's precompiled and available. I also forgot to set embedFont=true and some antialiasing but it works if you do or don't anyhow.
Edit:
Haha I see you were editing your post too. I think we're both on the same page seeing we said the same exact thing. Although I do need to set the non-bold TextFormat like I did setting from char 0-16 or the entire TextField (or TLFTextField) goes to bold. Setting both formats every time fixes the issue. I don't even need to keep setting a font, it's already saved in the formatting object. I just turn bold on and off.

How to keep Korean fonts when converting .pages file to .epub file

Hi, I am also asking about embedding Korean fonts other than English when converting .pages file to .epub file.
I really like to use application for Mac in order to make certain file format for e-books though there seems to be some problem that should be improved.
Please answer to my question and help me to find the best way to make .epub file with Mac.
37Fides

You should have no problem keeping your text in Korean when you convert to .epub from .pages. Are you saying that the Korean is converted to something else? Please provide more details about what is not working the way you want.
Pages can't embed fonts, you would have to use another app. But there is no need to embed fonts to create Korean books.

Korean fonts

I am using a Korean computer with Korean fonts.
I have Flash 8 English version.
I have prepared Korean text in Dreamweaver 8 which appears in
the Flash movie.
When it appears the text is all broken and illegible.
Can anyone advise as to why this is?
Thank You
[email protected]

Is there some way to use the
Korean fonts to type the Korean
alphabet?
Yes. Go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for Hangul, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder." Then go to the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder and select Hangul. Then type. There are a number of settings at the bottom of the flag menu.

Problem with Embedded "Adobe Arabic" Font

I realy have defficulty getting embedded "Adobe Arabic" font to work, beleive me, I have tried lots of different approaches, but it won't join the glyphs properly using it as Embedded font.
Please try typing the word مُعَلِم into the textlayout component. notice this words uses the combination of letters and ligatures. if you choose to use the "Adobe Arabic" as a system Font assuming you have already installed the Adobe Arabic into the system, it shows as مُعَلِم, which is correct.
However if you choose to use the Adobe Arabic font as an Embeded font, it displays the word as the above but puts spaces between each letter.
I have tried brian's solution "Using a font SWF in a Flash Profession CS4 application" the World Language application, and still shows wrong and it does not join the glyphs properly if and only if you use letter and ligatures like the word مُعَلِم.
in your example you have used the word الإخاء which renders properly but try using مُعَلِم and see what happens.
Please have a look at the attached file for more information.

Wrong device font in Flash CC

There's a problem with device fonts in Flash CC.
When I create a dynamic textfield in Flash CS6, set the font to Verdana and select 'Use device fonts' as Anti-Alias option without embedding it does the following:
Correctly show the Verdana font without anti-alias, because it's present on my computer.
Now, when I do the same in Flash CC it does this:
That isn't Verdana, looks more to be New Times Roman or similar. What's the deal with that?

Hi
Could you please delete the prefrence files of CS 6 and CC , then open the CS6 file in CC. Let me know whether its working correclty.
regards
Jose.

Hi Navneet,
Thanks for the immediate reply.
As such there is no change in both the report servers , same output in win2000 and win2003. I am generating the rep from 9ids for both 9ids and 9ias, and i am using font UWKMJF which is korean charecter support, but 9ias is generating some junk charecters with spacing , 9ids is working fine.
The PDf Document font is showing

Actual font = HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro type=type1 (CID)
which is same as 9ids, but the data displaying in the pdf are not proper.
As you mentioned about the patch, which patch i have to apply. can you please also mention the patch numbers.
Please help me.

SAPScript Korean font convert to PDF , font cannot read

Hello everyone
i use SAPscript original language EN.
in sapscript i use korean font KPBATANG to show detail of Purchase order,
some korean text come from SAP table , some korean text i hardcode in sapscript.
but when i convert SAPscript to PDF for sending file vie email.
all korean font cannot read, but english font is OK.
i attach picture as below.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/53547794@N06/4966797778/
you will see that korean font in ( ) cannot read
please help.
Edited by: dittaporn nanasilp on Sep 7, 2010 6:43 AM

Hi,
In addition to Korean font like KPBATANG, the language key of the used form(sapscript or smartform) must be KO. Also the PDF must be created by a Korean device type like e.g. KPSAPWIN.
If you have a Unicode system, then the Unicode cascading fonts device type SWINCF or PDFUC can be used to create the PDF. In this case the language of the form is not so important.

Korean Font Problem

Here's the thing.
im using macromedia flash8
i need to use korean characters in my fla file.
everything is fine _if only_ the settings in the windows xp's
Regional and Language Options > Advanced > Language for
non-Unicode programs
is set to Korean.
but by using that setting, there is other problem in other
part of the windows.( the backslash \ path separator becomes Won
currency sign).
But if i set that to English. and i opened a fla file
containing korean characters. it warned me for Missing Font. Tried
subtituting it with other korean fonts (no luck) all the korean
characters becomes boxes. and for the info most of the korean
characters are used in the script / actions panel. the korean
characters are fine if i type them with text tool in the stage. but
not on the script panel.
So is there any way to fix that? or any way to change the
font for the texts in script / actions panel?
thanks

These are not font issues, they are encoding mismatches, where names are either not in Unicode as required by OS X or are somehow being read in the wrong encoding. It is not uncommon with mp3 files imported from Windows, which often uses different encodings than Mac. The zip utility also botches encodings sometimes.
Try to make sure all the id3 tags are in Unicode before transferring and avoid zipping/unzipping and see if that helps.

Korean Font crash after iOS 7 update

I reported this problem to iWork two days ago, but no response. Korean font does not work across all iWork--Pages, Numbers, Keynotes--and on iPad, iPad2, and iPhone4. It works fine on MacAir, Macbook Pro and iWork beta at icloud.com. It must be iOS7 conflicts with Korean font in iWork. I tried device-reset and eraze-and-redownload-iWork--all in vain. This is most disappointing if not downright irritating. Please do something to resolve this problem.

It drives me crazy also. Use iAwriter app for a temporary. I've used many document apps but most of them had same problem as iWork apps. Juding from the fact that even google docs has same problem, i assume it is iOS 7's general trouble to document apps. But somehow iAwriter does not has those issue at the moment, so i'm only using that one now. Try that one for a moment although it is bit annoying the delay of bug fix. It is such huge falut that never been exist. Typing letter is impossible...? No single one apple staff has tryed typing Korean. That demonstrate a lot of current apple's situation i suppose.

Korean font name in CSS doesn't work

Korean true type fonts have two names, in English and Korean. For example, the default font of Windows 7 Korean version is '맑은 고딕' in Korean, 'Malgun Gothic' in English. In Microsoft WIndows, webpages with CSS which has Korean font name display right font, but in my Mac, Safari does not display right font. If the webpage use both Korean and English names in CSS font section, it works in both Mac and Windows.
For example,
body { font-family: 맑은 고딕; }
It works just in Windows.
body { font-family: 맑은 고딕, Malgun Gothic; }
It works in both platform.
Apple mail also has same problem. I have tested other browsers in Mac and only Mozilla Firefox display the right font.
Is this a some kind of bug?
