Embedded fonts in CS3

Hi!
Since Flash8, i use a share library with embed fonts. These
fonts (Century Gothic, MS UI Gothic, SimHei and Avant Garde) are
used in a multi language training application showing 218 swf
files.
All my dynamic and imput textfields use these fonts as
embedded font.
These 4 fonts are duplicate in 4 "embedded fonts version" to
cover regular, bold, italic and bold italic mode.
So, i've 16 fonts in my share library as this method. for
example :
Font name with regular mode -> Font_Name__Normal
Font name with bold mode -> Font_Name__Bold
Font name with italicmode -> Font_Name__Italic
Font name with bold and italic mode ->
Font_Name__Bold_Italic
Thanks to this method, i can set a font to my textfield
according to the user language mode. For exemple Century Gothic is
set for English users, MS UI Gothic for Japanese users and SimHei
for Chinese users.
I would like to migrate this Flash8 application to Flash CS3.
So i open my library, rigth click and select new font. Next, select
linkage and check "Export for runtime sharing".
At this moment, a class name and a base class are set bu
Flash CS3. I just write the URL like that "./fla_name.swf" and
press ok button.
A warning messagebox tells me "A definition for this class
could not be found in the classpath, so one will be automatically
generated in the swf file upon export."
As i don't know what type of class i need to create (i just
start AS3, never used it before), I accept and export my flash
file.
The Flash CS3 swf size is 18KB and the Flash 8 swf size is
38MB. I conclude that my fonts are not embedded in my file.
To conclude, how to do it with Flash CS3 ?
thanks for your help

> export to PDF so that the newsletter can be edited by others.
That's not how PDF works. The purpose of exporting a PDF is to make a file that can be viewed and printed by others without the software or fonts used to create the original document. If you want people to edit your InDesign files, they'll need the same version of InDesign and legitimate licence to use the same fonts.
Some font vendors are foolishly paranoid that people will use PDF to copy their fonts. It's not impossible, but it is difficult to extract a font from a PDF, and nearly useless if the font was embedded as a subset, which most PDF exports use. It is much easier to just copy the font file, and there's nothing preventing that. So blame the morons who sell that headline font and use another or convert it to outlines before PDFing.

Embeding font in CS3.

Hi,
I am trying to embed font in CS3. The chinese text is visible
on local desktop but not on remote desktop.
Below are the steps that I have followed.
* created a new font in Library and given a linkage name to
it. [Tried with Arial UniCode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode]
* Given this font name to textField on stage.
* Registered this new font.
* enumerated the font in an array.Later assigned this
fontname to Font instance.
* Used FontInstance.fontName as textFormat's font and applied
this textformat as defaultTextFormat.
* Assigned chinese hardcoded text.
I tried with textFieldName.embedFont=true, but it didn't
help.
This swf shows chinese text on local desktop. But same swf
when viewed from a remote desktop, chinese text appears as squares.
Let me know if I am missing any step.
Thanks in advance.

1. Linkage name must be identical to font name.
2. The name of the text field is not important. It can be
anything like myText.
3. Assign font to text formats font propery as a string
textFormat.font = "Font Name"
4. Set myText.embedFont = true;
Then test. I think the key is that the font name has to be
the same as it would display in the flash font menu. For example,
when I use the font Gotham Book, I have to specify the assignment
string as "Gotham-Book" because that is how flash names the font.
Good luck!

Embedded Fonts Illustrator CS3

Hello All,
I have an illustrator file from a freelancer, who says the fonts are embedded. When I open the file, the "Find Font" menu comes up with the option to replace the fonts with fonts from the document or the system.
All the fonts have an asterisk by them. To replace the fonts I had to quit the "Find Font" menu and replace them from the regular font menu in Illustrator, some of which, I could not locate.
Am I doing something wrong or were all the fonts not embedded correctly.
Tom

Fonts are either .dfont (Apples own fonts), .otf (OpenType fonts), .ttf (true type fonts) or a file with .afm (which is kerning info for a particular font and not a font itself and is not a must be there file). The Postscript type 1 fonts do not have file extensions to their suitcase-files even if your Finder settings is set to show file extensions so I wouldn't add one. Which font file is what you can see in the Finder by sorting them as a list in Type order.
Other Adobe apps are a bit particular as to what is in the Adobe font database and AdobeFntXX.lst files.
You might want to use a tool-application that can clean up font caches to get it straight. Which one you use depends on which OS version you are running. Go to versiontracker.com and search for fontcache and you will get some alterantives. With InDesign that has to be done regularly if you keep activating and deactivating fonts or adding and deleting as the fontcache gets all screwed up after a while. ID then also gets problems of finding the font and insists it is not there even when it is. Font cache cleaning usually remedies that. I guess Illustrator needs the same treatment (I don't do much fonts in Illustrator, I use it for drawing primarily).

Problems in CS3 and AS3 with embedded fonts

Hi. I recently downloaded the trial version of CS3 to test it
out. I'm an experience AS2 developper, and have 10 years of C, C++,
C#, Java, PHP ... programming experience on BIG projects before
starting flash.
I have been trying to use an embedded font in AS3 with a
dynamically created textfield. I've tried all the examples in
O'Reilly's ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook. They suggest using the
[Embed] meta tag, but quite honestly it does nothing in CS3. I had
the Size Report option selected, and it shows clearly by the file
size the font isn't present in the SWF.
Then I tried doing it the way I did in Flash 8. Again there
no luck. My TextField exists, but there is simple no font being
rendered.. Here is my bit of code.
In my library I have a symbol called arialBold. In the
linkage settings, I have "Export for ActionScript" checked, and
"Export in first frame" checked. The class is "arialBold" but I
wonder if that's right? and the Base class is "flash.text.Font"
I tried every variation I could think of. I must be doing
something wrong. You can find my file here :
http://www.newcommerce.ca/as3/fonttest.fla
Thanks for your help! If you can fix this, i'll be very
happy!

this code works
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tfor.font = new _TrebushetMS().fontName;
tfor.italic = true;
tf.width = 300;
tf.height = 200;
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.border = true;
tf.defaultTextFormat = tfor ;
tf.text = "this is a test";
this.addChild(tf);
This code does not work
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tfor.font = new _TrebushetMS().fontName;
tfor.italic = true;
tf.width = 300;
tf.height = 200;
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.border = true;
tf.setTextFormat(tfor) ;
tf.text = "this is a test";
this.addChild(tf);
i don't know why

Embedding fonts in document

I work for a Printing Display company. Illustrator CS3 allows you to embedd subset fonts only with permission bits available. The problem I'm having is some of our big customers do not want to send copies of the fonts they paid for. They save the file as a PDF with the fonts embedded so that they will view and print from either Acrobat or Reader. If I open the file in Illustrator I get a "Font missing" warning. What is the work around for this? The reason I need to open these files in a Graphics App is because we need to use our templates in order to edit colors and bleeds and such. Without the fonts it's pretty much useless. We could tell the customer to just outline all text but this is a hassle for all kinds of reasons. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Paul,
When you open a PDF in Illy, all text is made Live Type, using the same font. If it is not accessible on your machine, Illy substitutes another font based on her best guess for a best match.
The option of having embedded fonts outlined and thereby turned into non (textwise) editable vector objects, very useful in many cases without need for modifying wording, has long been wished. I am afraid this wish has not been met yet; maybe it will happen in CS5, or later, or never.
Those PDFs without issues only hold fonts that you have.
I thought I remembered that there was a cunning roundabout way of obtaining this, and here it is, at least for versions from CS2 on:
1) File>New to open a new blank document;
2) File>Place the PDF, ticking the Link option;
3) Object>Flatten Transparency, ticking Convert All Text to Outlines option if applicable (flattening causes outlining at least in 10).

Has anyone got embedded fonts in SVG to work on Mac OS X Lion?

I have used CS3, CS4 suite versions of illustrator on Snow leopard, and embedding fonts worked correctly,
but on several computers at work here, none of the CS5 or CS5.5 suite versions of illustrator embed fonts in SVG format on Lion.
I have also tried CS4 on Lion and still does not work...
Saving as SVG without fonts works fine,
Saving with fonts shows error message and no fonts are ever brought over.
This shows brand new ai file with a text box and three letters in standard font:
This shows saving as SVG to documents folder (does not matter where saving to, issue still exists):
This shows the SVG options (Note font is SVG, subsetting is common english and glyphs used.)
Error message:
Does not matter how many fonts are attempted to be embedded, no fonts (with glyphs translation) ever show up on the svg file.
Any suggestions?
Other than
reinstall lion completely, then reinstall CS5 then CS5.5(DONE, does not work)
reinstall lion completely, then reinstall CS5.5 only(DONE, does not work)

This is what i currently have to do:
Currently i use a secondary PPC computer with leopard 10.5 and Illustrator CS3 on it, and save the file as svg using those settings (fonts).
Open the CS3 svg in text edit
Copy fonts created in CS3 and then paste in CS5 svg file which i created on the intel computer with lion (mac 10.7)
Also tested this in mountain lion 10.8, still same error, have to do this stupid workaround for now....

I created a PDF exporting from InDesign and when the PDF opens I get the message: "Cannot extract the embedded font...Some characters may not diplay or print correctly." I made sure the font was postscript font and is not corrupted, I changed the font and the same problem happened.
I have looked all over the internet for an answer and have not found a solution. Can you please give me some advised how to solve the problem?

Hi Markus ,
It is a problem with the pdf file being encoded as ascii by the email program when it is really binary. The way to get around the problem is to zip the file or use a different email program or change the encoding method if possible.

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

I think it's a issue of swfcontext or AS comunication with Spark components.
Please let me know if any solution.

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);

//... write the stream some where

 // step 1: creation of a document-object

 // step 2: we create a writer that listens to the document

 while( i < n )

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

How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

Thank you very much !
Indeed, I was unaware of the enormous number of options that can be selected when converting a WORD file to PDF.
I went thru the settings and found the right one for embedding the fonts.
Thanks again !
