Embedding and using external fonts in Flash CS5

I just upgraded to Flash CS5. Font embedding is entirely different than it was in CS4. I've been looking for examples online but none seem to show me a solution that matches what I need.
In the project I'm working on, code changes the font a text box uses based on region and language. To keep file size down I created separate swf files with the fonts embedded. That way I only download the font I need. The way I did this and the code I used in CS4 doesn't seem to work anymore. Can someone please point me to a tutorial on this.
Thanks

OK, maybe you can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Below is the code I'm using.
LOADING THE FONT
Font SWFs:
I'm trying something new with CS5. To create a swf with the font I need I'm creating a library symbol of the font with all the characters in it. Titled it "Verdana". I've also turned on Export for ActionScript and given the font a unique class name (VerdanaFont). Then of course publish the swf, name it Verdana.swf, and put it in the correct location. Does doing it this way automatically register the font?
The Loader code:
private function LoadFont()
var fontPath:String = "assets/fonts/Verdana.swf";
var fontLoader:Loader = new Loader();
fontLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, createTextBox);
fontLoader.load(new URLRequest(fontPath));
The TextBox code:
private function createTextBox()
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat;
tf.font = "Verdana";
tf.align = "left";
var textBox:TextField = new TextField;
textBox.embedFonts = true;
textBox.selectable = false;
textBox.htmlText = "This is test text";
textBox.setTextFormat(tf);
stage.addChild(textBox);

Embedding and using external fonts.

I'm using Flash CS4. I'm trying to load and embed an external font. The main problem I'm having is that I need to import more than just latin 1. I need many special characters imported as well. Because of this, using Flash CS4's create new font from the library is not an option. I'm using Verdana, so I know the font has all the characters I need.
So what I need to do is create an external swf that holds the font. Then I need to import and use the font. Unfortunately, I've found way too many ways online that work but don't fit my needs.
Any help is appreciated.

1. Embedding
a. You can embed font in Flash IDE by creating Font as a library asset and then compile this swf. There are tons of help available on Internet.
b. If you use Flash CS5 or compilers that utilizes Flex SDK, you can create class like below and compile it into a swf:
package
 import flash.display.Sprite;
 public class FontLibrary extends Sprite
 [Embed(systemFont="Verdana", fontName="_verdana", mimeType="application/x-font", advancedAntiAliasing="true", fontStyle="normal",unicodeRange="U+0020-U+007E")]
 public static var Normal:Class;
 [Embed(systemFont="Verdana", fontName="_verdana", mimeType="application/x-font", advancedAntiAliasing="true", fontStyle="normal", fontWeight="bold",unicodeRange="U+0020-U+007E")]
 public static var Bold:Class;
 [Embed(systemFont="Verdana", fontName="_verdana", mimeType="application/x-font", advancedAntiAliasing="true", fontStyle="italic", fontWeight="normal",unicodeRange="U+0020-U+007E")]
 public static var Italic:Class;
 [Embed(systemFont="Verdana", fontName="_verdana", mimeType="application/x-font", advancedAntiAliasing="true", fontStyle="italic", fontWeight="bold",unicodeRange="U+0020-U+007E")]
 public static var ItalicBold:Class;
No matter what way you choose - you will have font available the external swf.
Try to load external swf into current domain. When you load the swf there is no much to do. Once swf is loaded - fonts should be available throughout application.
To use the font - just pass its name into TextFiled instance's TextFormat. WIth the example above:
myTextFormat.font = "_verdana";
Documentation for TextFormat:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextFormat.html
To see available fonts you can use the following:
var allFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(false);
allFonts.sortOn("fontName", Array.CASEINSENSITIVE);
for (var i:int = 0; i < allFonts.length; i++)
 trace(allFonts[i].fontName);

How to show embedded and not embedded font in TextField at the same time?

Hi guys,
I need to show embedded and not embedded font in my TextField at the same time. TextField has embedFonts = true and isHTML = true.
Any ideas?

Two different font won't work for me because I need to support all UTF glyphs.
Idea with two TextFields one on top of other seems to be working. The only problem I see here - if half string is Chinese and hand Latin - then it will be quite problematic to properly position text...

Font embedding and Stylesheets in Flash CS5

Problem with embedding an OpenType CFF font

I'm trying to embed an OpenType CFF font into a simple PDF file and can't get it to work. I'm hoping that someone here could spot my error or give me someplace to go for a better example/help. I've dumped the font itself to a file and it appears ok. OS X and Windows XP recognizes it as an OpenType CFF file and renders it. However, Acrobat Reader says "Cannot extract the embedded font 'GaramondPremrPro'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Acrobat Pro preflight PDF syntax reports: An unexpected value is associated with the key Key: Subtype Value: /OpenType Type: CosName Formal Representation: FontFile Cos ID: 12 Traversal Path: ->Pages->Kids->[0]->Resources->Font->F1->FontDescriptor->FontFile3 So... here is the important bits from the PDF: %PDF-1.7 ..... 10 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /Type1 /BaseFont /GaramondPremrPro /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding /FirstChar 1 /LastChar 255 /Widths [ <omitted> ] /FontDescriptor 11 0 R >> endobj 11 0 obj << /Type /FontDescriptor /Ascent 1000 /CapHeight 800 /Descent -300 /Flags 1000 /FontBBox [-213 -336 1405 918] /FontName /GaramondPremrPro /ItalicAngle 0 /StemV 100 /FontFile3 12 0 R >> endobj 12 0 obj << /Length 13 0 R /Subtype /OpenType >> stream <this data saved by itself appears as OpenType Font, Postscript Outlines, Single master in Windows and renders as it should. It has CFF table and it doesn't matter if I include all the original tables or only those suggested as needed it still doesn't render in the PDF itself>

Argg! I knew it would be something stupid. I spent a lot of time recently trying to get all the exceptions worked out in font embedding and it is all starting to run together.
Yes, I use flate by default, but I used AsciiHex so I could examine the data easily. Now I'm wondering when this crept in and how much time I wasted. Maybe I don't want to know.
This fixes the display issue in Acrobat/Reader, but Apple Preview still won't display the font (it substitutions but gives no error). Does anyone know if Apple Preview even supports FontFile3/OpenType?
Confusingly, Acrobat's Preflight -> PDF Analysis -> "Report PDF syntax issues" still reports the "An unexpected value is associated with the key" error.
In this case, would extracting the CFF table as is from the OTF be a valid CFF font that could be used, thereby using FontFile3/Type1C and make it compatible with Apple Preview? Just thinking out loud.
I've updated the file http://www.pagestream.org/fonttest4.pdf to reflect the proper encoding for anyone who might have an inkling to take a look.
Thank you Leonard for your help!

How to Embed some specialy Font and Change Text Font Property in SDK?

hello everyone,
    when i write my plugin,i met with some problem about the Font.
    first,i add some text in the PDF Page using the JavaScript,and want to use some special,and all failed and use some font instead which acrobat own.does the acrobat can embed some font that installed in the system? and how to use it in the sdk?
   second,i can use the touchup tools to change the text property,such as the font,size and scaling,how can i do it in my plugin in the sdk suppose i can get the text object?
   thanks.

WHICH APIs are you using to add text to a PDF via JavaScript? There are a few different ones and they each have various options with respect to fonts.
As to the general answer, if the font allows embedding, then we will embed it - if it does not, then we won't. That simple.
There are no APIs for JavaScript to change such attributes, only to plugins.

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Illustrator CC Crashes when I try and change the font

Help! I can not get Illustrator to work - I reinstalled my wacom driver and have troubleshooted with Wacom. This seems to be an issue with Illustrator.
When I open a doc or create a new doc the minute I try and change the font it crashes.

Read the signs for what they are: Your fonts are busted and you have a "bad" font somewhere in there. Remove al lextra fonts and add them back only as needed.

Start up problems after Safari 3.1 and Security update

Updated safari and security update last night.
Safari downloaded and installed but there was an error downloading or installing the security update, I forgot.
After I restarted everything booted up fine, but was stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen.
Did a fsck and zap the pram, still stuck.
Today I tried booting up in safe mode, stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
Then I tried booting up from an external firewire dvd drive. Repaired permissions, repaired the disk, but it is still stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen. Help please...
Thank you

Ok i had a similar problem, with all the recent updates for Leopard, including the 10.5.2 combo update... the 12" PowerBook G4 kept getting stuck on the grey apple and spinning wheel... if it managed to get past this it would get stuck on the blue screen!!!
The way i got around this, after trying all these other tips was: Archived & Installed 10.5; restarted, waited; downloaded 10.5.2 Combo update, installed; restarted, waited; waited; waited; after getting back to desktop, restarted, waited; then ran Software Update only installing one at a time, and after each install, restarted, waited; when all Software updates completed, proceeded with iLife updates etc... It took a while (still quicker than the 3 days of failed installs and updates) with a lot of waiting on the blue screen (5-20mins) but we got there in the end. Disks where checked with Leopard Disk Utility before and after, permissions where checked before and after completing all installs, also with a DW 4.1 optimization. Also note worthy is the RAM was upgraded from the initial 256Mb (!!!) with an extra Gb.

How can one edit a .gif file graphics background and change the fonts in Photoshop Elements 13?

I am trying to change the color and fonts of some of my web sites .gif files. Can I change the color to another hexadecimal color and change the fonts of the letters in Photoshop 13? I am using Windows 7 and heard that you could save the .gif file to another format, edit it, then change the file back to a .gif file. Is this true? If so, how do you do it? The file just has a solid color with the letters "Firm " on it. No animation.

You can edit a gif without changing the format, but once you save the file as a gif the text becomes part of the image, not text anymore, so you would need to clone or heal away the existing text and then create a new text layer and use save for web to create a new gif.
For access to the most editing tools, while the file is open in the editor go to image>mode and change it from index color to RGB. Saving as a gif will change it back to index mode.

Look at the samples in the SDK around PDFEdit and the PDEdit APIs.

Bursting with translation and security attributes?

Hi folks,
I've been lurking on the forum for a while and despite not always finding a solution, existing threads normally pointed me in the right direction - so thanks :)
I'm working on EBS 11.5.10 with the latest Bi-Publisher 5.6.3 (5472959) and bursting (5968876) patches installed.
I have successfully done the following individual AR Invoice Bi-Publisher tasks:
1. translated an invoice RTF template by attaching an xliff file to the data definition,
2. applied security attributes to the template to restrict updates on the resulting PDF,
3. burst a custom AR invoice print and emailed the resultant pdf's.
The PDF generated by the combined Invoice print correctly applies the translation and security attributes; however when I run the "XML Publisher Report Bursting Program" to the XML file the resultant burst PDF's do not apply the translation or security attributes. I assume this a limitation of bursting control files? If so, is this on the list of future enhancements to Bi-Publisher?
Here's an example of my control file document entry, I have included locale and pdf-security entries - these don't cause an error but equally don't generate the desired result (p.s. I know I'm emailing on a PRI filter - it's just a test):
<xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="att_email">
<xapi:template type="rtf"
location="/usr/tmp/xxxINVOICE3.rtf"
locale="fr-US"
pdf-security="true" pdf-encryption-level="1" pdf-permissions-password="xxxxxx"
filter=".//G_INVOICE_HEADER[PRINTING_OPTION='PRI']" >
</xapi:template>
</xapi:document>
Thanks
Dave

You would have happened to try applying the security stuff in the application for your template? Try that and see if the pdf properties get set.
If that doesn't work your left with two options:
1. create a java concurrent program and set the properties manually.
2. Log a tar.

=================
Are you sure you don't have to create template config for the locale? i suspect that's why it's not applying the xliff translation. Also, your NLS_LANG needs to be set to FRENCH for the approriate template to be applied. If your logged-in as english your french format template will not be applied, neither will the translation. As an example you can query vl table and you'll only get american (us) but if you alter your session you'll get the translation for that language when your query the table.
location="xdo://xxxAR.xxx_XML_PRINT.fr.US"
try it out and see if that works. Note: This will only work if your session NLS_LANG is set to FRENCH.

How to Set up HTTPOnly and SECURE FLAG for session cookies

Hi All,
To fix some vulnerability issues (found in the ethical hacking , penetration testing) I need to set up the session cookies (CFID , CFTOKEN , JSESSIONID) with "HTTPOnly" (so not to access by other non HTTP APIs like Javascript). Also I need to set up a "secure flag" for those session cookies.
I have found the below solutions.
For setting up the HTTPOnly for the session cookies.
1] In application.cfc we can do this by using the below code. Or we can do this in CF admin side under Server Settings » Memory Variables
 this.sessioncookie.httponly = true;
For setting up the secure flag for the session cookies.
2] In application.cfc we can do this by using the below code. Or we can do this in CF admin side under Server Settings » Memory Variables
 this.sessioncookie.secure = "true"
Here my question is how we can do the same thing in Application.cfm?. (I am using ColdFusion version 10). I know we can do this using the below code , incase of HTTPOnly (for example).
<cfapplication setclientcookies="false" sessionmanagement="true" name="test">
<cfif NOT IsDefined("cookie.cfid") OR NOT IsDefined("cookie.cftoken") OR cookie.cftoken IS NOT session.CFToken>
<cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFID=#session.CFID#;path=/;HTTPOnly">
<cfheader name="Set-Cookie" value="CFTOKEN=#session.CFTOKEN#;path=/;HTTPOnly">
</cfif>
But in the above code "setclientcookies" has been set to "false". In my application (it is an existing application) this has already been set to "true". If I change this to "false" as mentioned in the above code then ColdFusion will not automatically send CFID and CFTOKEN cookies to client browser and we need to manually code CFID and CFTOKEN on the URL for every page that uses Session. Right???. And this will be headache.Right???. Or any other way to do this.
Your timely help is well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I couldnt understand this. I mean how are you relating this with my question.
When Tomcat detects that the communication protocol is secure (that is, HTTPS), it automatically switches on the 'secure' flag for the J2EE session cookie, JsessionID. Tomcat is configured to do that. Coldfusion has no say in it. So, for JsessionID, 'secure' is automatically set to 'false' when HTTP is detected and automatically set to 'true' when HTTPS is detected.
 If this is the case then why I am getting below info for jsessionid (As you mentioned it should set with SECURE flag . Right???). Note that we are using web server - Apache vFabric .And the application that we are using is in https and there is no hit is going from https to http.

Set HTTPOnly / Secure for the session cookies that you wish to use. Each cookie has its pros and cons. For example, the JsessionID cookie is more secure and more Java-interoperable than CFID/CFToken but, from the explanation above, it forbids the sharing of sessions between HTTP and HTTPS.
 I understood that setting thos flags (httponly/secure) is as per my wish. But my question was , is it necessary to set those flags forcf session cookies (cfid and cftoken) as we have enabled J2EE session in CF admin?. Or in other way as the session management is J2EE based do we need to set those flags for CF session cookies?.
BKBK wrote:
3]If I need to set HTTPOnly and SECURE flag for JSESSIONID , how can I do that.
It is sufficient to set the HTTPOnly only. As I explained above, Tomcat will automatically set 'secure' to 'true' when necessary, that is, when the protocol is HTTPS.
 I understood that it is sufficient to set httponly only.but how we will set it for jsessionid?. This is my question. Apache vFabric will alos set secure to true automatically. Any idea??
