Embedding fonts into a component

I have this weird issue where I am using a component
(slideshowpro) and
have it set to embed the font, but it is not doing it. I am
wondering if
there is anything else I can or if there might be a trick.
Can I embed a
font into the movie? I think I have done this before... Maybe
that will
do it?
Thanks for any help with this!

Open the library panel. Click on the button in the upper
right corner of the panel to toggle open the library menu. Select
'New Font'. A new dialog window named “Font Symbol
Properties” will appear. Click the double-arrow button to the
right of the “Font:” field in the Font Symbol
Properties dialog. Select the name of the font. Then, give your
font a simple name in the “Name:” field. Leave all the
other options alone. Click OK.
Now Brian, this comes directly from the SSP_User_Guide.pdf
included with the distribution of SlideShowPro...

Embedding Fonts into a PDF file - Best Solution/s

Good day
What is the best solution or solutions to Embedding Fonts into a PDF file?
Kind Regards

Amplifing on what Test Screen Name posted.
--| Use a Distiller Job Option that embeds fonts.
--| Use Acrobat Pro's (starting with 9.x) Preflight that embeds fonts (if they are present and installed on the local machine).

Embedding Fonts Into A PDF

Hi There,
I'm having trouble sending my files to the printers, my fonts is jumping...
How do i make sure that my fonts are embedded into my PDF file,
I'm using indesign cs5.5 Please can someone help me, I have distiller as well.
Thank You
Kind Regards

Can you check one of your problematic PDFs with Acrobat? Go to the Document Properties dialog and check the "Fonts" tab. That way you can verify if your fonts are embedded.
It's really straightforward: where Acrobat does *not* tell you a font is "(Embedded)" or "(Embedded subset)", that font is missing.
If you find you are creating files without embedding all fonts, you need to review your workflow. As I said above, you might have switched off InDesign's warnings for this.
Bear in mind it's also possible your PDFs are fine and it's your printer that needs to update.

Embedding fonts into movie

Hi all I have a projector into which I embedded some fonts
using the following commands: Insert>Media Element>Font. I
chose the option to include the entire character set. After I
embedded the fonts, all the spaces between the words in the movie
shows up as square boxes. How can I fix this?

Are you using a fancy, custom font downloaded from some free
font website?... your problem sounds like there's simply no space
character... the box is the default 'character glyph' used when the
nothing exists at the position in the font file.

NEED HELP EMBEDING FONT INTO MYSITE

I have finish mysite and need to know how to embed my font. I know about going to the library and clicking new font then going to linkage, but I dont know the action script to put into my actions panel. CAN ANYBODY HELP PLEASE. My font name is 1979

Thx. With the text.Format script do I have to call each size of that font if i use it, say 9pt and 7pt? Thanks

Show multiple embedded fonts into an html textfield

Hi to everyone,
I'm using Flash CS5 , Actionscript 3.0 and export fo Flash Plaer 10.
I create a class, myHtmlText.as, that builds a basic TextField.
I create an empty file myHtmlText.fla
I embedded two fonts inside the myHtmlText.fla: "Ghotam Light" and "Ghotam Book"; I selected all characters for each font and exported for actionscript with the following linkage name: "GhotamBook" and "GhotamLight"
I wish to use the fonts embedded, in the TextField using htmlText, like this:
var tf:TextField = createTextField(10, 10, 400, 22);
 tf.htmlText = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.';
 //tf.embedFonts = true;
where createTextField function is:
private function createTextField(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):TextField
 var result:TextField = new TextField();
 result.x = x;
 result.y = y;
 result.width = width;
 result.height = height;
 addChild(result);
 return result;
but it does not work; the text is not displayed; If I use .text instead fo .htmlText, the latin text is displayed with a system font.
How can I do?

GhotamLight and GhotamBook should be class names and you'll need to import the needed classes to use:
var tf:TextField = createTextField(10, 10, 400, 22,"GotamBook");
 tf.htmlText = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.';
private function createTextField(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number, fontS:String):TextField
 var result:TextField = new TextField();
 result.x = x;
 result.y = y;
 result.width = width;
 result.height = height;
 addChild(result);
var ClassRef:Class=Class(getDefinitionByName(fontS));
var font:Font = new ClassRef();
var tfor:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
tfor.font=font.fontName;
result.embedFonts=true;
result.defaultFormat=tfor;
 return result;

hi im making a applet game and it has a custom font
how can i embed the font so the user does not have to install it manually
i read on page u can do this by adding it to the jar and pointing to it some how but they dint explain how
is this possible or is there another way ? point to the font if i upload it or soming

Spark DataGrid Embedded Font Quandary

01. In everything that follows, I am talking about the latest [21328] version of the SDK, not that I believe that my problems have anything to do with that release, just so anyone interested and willing to help will know the version.
02. My application happens to be rooted in AIR's WindowedApplication, but again, I do not think that has any impact on my problems; I believe the same results would obtain for a Flex Application.
03. I have a custom renderer for the Spark DataGrid which extends DefaultGridItemRenderer. It works fine. Its primary job is to change the font characteristics of each row in the list as a visual clue to the user as to the specific nature of the content that is accessible. Some entries are just in the Regular font, some in Bold, some in Italic, and some in Bold-Italic.
04. I have, for most of the project, embedded the necessary fonts like this:
    [Embed (source="C:/Windows/Fonts/ArnoPro-Caption.otf", fontName="ArnoPro_BI_4",
        fontStyle="italic",
        fontWeight="bold",
        mimeType="application/x-font",
        embedAsCFF="true",
        unicodeRange="U+0021-U+00ff, U+20ac-U+20ac")]
    private const ArnoPro_BI_4:Class;
As I said, that all works just as advertized. But, that method of embedding carries the somewhat painful burden of slower compilations, so for the last 24 hours I have unseccessfully been trying to replace that with:
[Embed (source = "../resources/assets/ArnoPro_BI_4.swf", symbol="ArnoPro_BI_4")]
private const ArnoPro_BI_4:Class;
where the swf file was produced via fontswf, using this incantation:
fontswf -4 -u U+0021-U+00ff,U+20ac-U+20ac -b -i -a ArnoPro_BI_4 -o ArnoPro_BI_4.swf C:/Windows/Fonts/ArnoPro-Caption.otf
06. By all that is holy, the two different means of embedding the font ought to yield the same result, but they do not. I have debugging code inserted to print out the list of fonts upon initiation of the application, and they are identical. Both means of embedding do succeed in getting the embedded fonts into the .swf, but the attempt to use the fonts fails using the second approach.
There is, of course, no change being made to the code in the item renderer which merely uses setStyle() to effect the row-by-row result. The result in the second case is that the only style of the embedded font that renders is 'regular'.
07. I have used the 'keep-generated' facility to look at the code being generated by the mxmlc compiler and can see that different code is emitted, but it does not help me find a fix to the problem. Both forms of the meta-tag do something; both methods of embedding seem to correctly register themselves with the FontManager, but only the method of embedding which actually performs the transcoding during compilation seems to result in a set of registered fronts which can be found and correctly used to render output based on the runtime setting of the font style.

Thank for the reply
I hoped that my posting indicated how the fonts in the the .swf file were constructed. The "-4", argument to the command-line tool, fontswf, as far as I can tell, is the precise analog to the "embedAsCFF" argument in the [Embed] syntax. That is what makes it so perplexing. Given all the external documentation that is available for each tool/methodology, I would have thought that the resultant bytecodes, classes, flags, whatever, would have been identical. The only difference would be the timing of when the transcoding took place.
Since it is clearly more efficient to only transcode whatever set of fonts an application needs once, not once per build/test turn-around, I would really like to make the fontswf workflow work. For those of us outside the beneficial environment of your licensed tools, the kindly-provided alternative to the facilities built into Flash Professional and/or Flash Builder give us the greatest degree of productivity.
Whoever has access to the source code for Font [I can only see the uninteresting FontAsset in the SDK] can probably determine what difference might result from mxmlc working with this intermediate output, when inline transcoding is 'tagged':
package
import mx.core.FontAsset;
[ExcludeClass]
[Embed(fontName="ArnoPro_IT_4", _resolvedSource="C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ArnoPro-ItalicCaption.otf", fontStyle="italic", _line="1189", _pathsep="true", embedAsCFF="true", fontWeight="normal", unicodeRange="U+0021-U+00ff, U+20ac-U+20ac", source="C:/Windows/Fonts/ArnoPro-ItalicCaption.otf", _column="2", exportSymbol="AIRZoom_ArnoPro_IT_4", _file="G:/FP/AIRZoom/src/AIRZoom_AS.as", mimeType="application/x-font")]
public class AIRZoom_ArnoPro_IT_4 extends mx.core.FontAsset
    public function AIRZoom_ArnoPro_IT_4()
        super();
versus this, when swf extraction is 'tagged':
package
import mx.core.FontAsset;
[ExcludeClass]
[Embed(fontName="ArnoPro_IT_4", _resolvedSource="C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ArnoPro-ItalicCaption.otf", fontStyle="italic", _line="1191", _pathsep="true", embedAsCFF="true", fontWeight="normal", unicodeRange="U+0021-U+00ff, U+20ac-U+20ac", source="C:/Windows/Fonts/ArnoPro-ItalicCaption.otf", _column="2", exportSymbol="AIRZoom_ArnoPro_IT_4", _file="G:/FP/AIRZoom/src/AIRZoom_AS.as", mimeType="application/x-font")]
public class AIRZoom_ArnoPro_IT_4 extends mx.core.FontAsset
    public function AIRZoom_ArnoPro_IT_4()
        super();
The only difference is that value for '_line' which probably only indicates that one of the two processes has a comment or empty line somewhere.

(How) can I use Embeded Fonts in Flex 3.3

If I understand correctly, I need to transcode/embed the fonts in Flex 4 / CS 4, but is there any way to then get those embeded fonts into a Flex 3.3 application?

Support for DefineFont4 (the cff property) is new in Flex Gumbo. It is not available in Flex 3.X. That said – I do have a solution for you. Create a separate Flex Gumbo project and use the cff property to embed the font you need into that SWF. Then embed the font SWF that you just created in Gumbo into your Flex 3.3 application.
Check out the “Building a Font SWF for use in any Flash Application” section in my DefineFont4 blog post:
http://blogs.adobe.com/tlf/2008/11/embedded_font_subsetting_using.html
Here is an article on embedding a SWF in Flex:

Hope this helps!

Using embedded fonts

Hi,
I've embedded font into an SWF in the following manner:
package resources.fonts
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class _Arial extends Sprite
[Embed(source='c:/windows/fonts/Arial.ttf',
fontName='_Arial')]
public static var _Arial:Class;
Now when I try to load it in my AIR app, I get "IFlexAsset
could not be found" error when the file gets loaded. Any
ideas?

@Flex, thanks. I have tried, and succeeded in making swf containers for fonts in various ways including using the fontswf app but they never seem to be used after I have loaded them in the main application. I have asked a couple of questions here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12846752/embedded-font-flash-text-engine There doesn't seem to be any error message, the font just 'silently' isn't used. Do you think that it just isn't possible? The documentation I've been able to dig up all seems to indicate that it should be; including the sentence I quote above.

This component requires that the embedded font be declared with embedAsCFF=true.

Hey all,
I fall into a small problem with fonts embedding. In my application I have embedded over 50 fonts and all expect one works as expected.
That one shows an error "warning: incompatible embedded font 'Algerian-CFF' specified for spark.components::RichEditableText (RichEditableText310) . This component requires that the embedded font be declared with embedAsCFF=true."
I have been looking all over the internet for similar problem, without success. Why this font is not working while all the rest does? Any clues?
/* CSS file */
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
/* embedded font */
@font-face {
src: url("ttf/ALGER.ttf");
fontFamily: Algerian-CFF;
Thanks.

Thanks,
My issue is not to embed a font twice. Let me describe the issue so this will helpful.
I have embed a fonts like below code.And apply LucidaBlackletterSpark font for spark component but it gives me error like
"warning: incompatible embedded font 'LucidaBlackletterSpark' specified for spark.components::RichEditableText (RichEditableText2301) . This component requires that the embedded font be declared with embedAsCFF=true".
But Font have already embedAsCFF property true. I am not able to find the solution why it is give me this warning.Due to that i am not able to embed a font.
@font-face {
          src: url("assets/fonts/LucidaBlackletter.ttf");
          fontFamily: LucidaBlackletterSpark;
          embedAsCFF: true;
@font-face {
          src: url("assets/fonts/LucidaBlackletter.ttf");
          fontFamily: LucidaBlackletterMX;
          embedAsCFF: false;

Embedded Fonts on Dynamic Label Component

I am working on a project that calls for multiple label
components to be dynamically rendered based on a selected comboBox
selectedItem. The comboBox is a choice of fonts available to the
user - all of which are embedded fonts. For some reason, the fonts
are not embedding correctly for systems that do not have the font
on the system.
I have added the fonts to the library and selected "Export to
ActionScript" as well as "Export in First Frame" (although I want
to preload these later once this issue is resolved). In my steps to
simplify and solve, I created a basic movie with a label on the
stage with an instance name of "label0".
In my Actions frame, I use the following code:
label0.text = "This is a font test";
label0.setStyle("fontFamily", "Vivaldi");
label0.setStyle("fontSize", "40");
label0.setStyle("embedFonts", "true");
I have seen examples on the web where someone uses
label0.embedFonts = true; but that doesn't seem to work either. I
have also tried various fonts to verify the font will embed.
Thinking I may not be embedding it correctly, I checked the
bandwidth profiler and variables list and the size goes up after I
try to embed the font as well as the label0 variables correctly
show embedFonts = true as well as the fontFamily is set to Vivaldi
(sample).
Many people have used Dynamic Text Fields but I need to use a
Label so I can use the autoSize feature as users are allowed to
choose their own font size (between 10pt and 40pt). The label
component seems to be the right option for me with the exception of
the font selection. To be safe, I added a dynamic text field and
embedded the fonts there as well and hid it off stage. When viewing
it on another system, the dynamic text field worked (poorly) but it
showed the font. The label did not show the correct font.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, when I set label0.setStyle("fontSize", "40"); the size
changes for both systems (the one that has the font installed as
well as the one that doesn't). On the system that doesn't have the
font, it appears as a Times New Roman font in large type.
Reference:
Using
styles with the Label component (Adobe Live Docs)

This component requires that the embedded font be declared with embedAsCFF=false.

I'm getting the following warning for my project.
"warning: incompatible embedded font 'MyFont' specified for views::MyViewInnerClass0 (MyViewInnerClass0_61) . This component requires that the embedded font be declared with embedAsCFF=false."
Here's what I have in my style.css file.
/* CSS file */
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
@namespace supportClasses "spark.globalization.supportClasses.*";
@namespace views "views.*";
@font-face {
          src: url("assets/MyFont.ttf");
fontFamily: "MyFont";
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
embedAsCFF: true;
@font-face {
          src: url("assets/MyFont.ttf");
fontFamily: "MyFont";
advancedAntiAliasing: false;
embedAsCFF: false;
The 2nd font section I have is what is suggested as the fix in most places but that isn't working out for me. I wonder if I'm missing something else.

I tried changing the name and it didn't work. Tried all sort of combinations too and none worked. Tried a different font and that didn't work too.
Turns out the problem wasn't in the declaration of the fonts but where I was using it.
I initially had the font declared globally
global
   fontFamily: DroidSansMono;
I saw that, in your comment you had mentioned "..then apply it to the component" so I applied the font to the label component
s|Label
fontFamily: DroidSansMono;
and boom.. no warning. Problem solved.
Thanks so much.

Embedding of fonts into PDF document

Hello people!
I need to create a PDF document that has text in different fonts(Arial Black, Courier New, Lucida Sans etc.) and languages(English, German, Russian etc.).
What is the best way to do this? How can I embed a font into a PDF document?
I am reading a PDF Reference documantation, but I have not found a good example of font embedding...
I would be thankful for an example or link to documentation or any other information that will help me to solve this problem.

>I have not found any free library for creating PDF files so I'm writing my own..
I would like to recommend that, rather than spending weeks or months
on getting fonts to embed (this is HARD) you look harder at the
available library. There are now dozens, and some are free, some are
even open source. Quality varies, of course.
http://www.planetpdf.com/ has a very big list of PDF tools, including
developer tools.
If you want to continue, realise that at points in this task you will
hit things which suddenly seem to make the job ten times harder than
before. Embedding fonts is one. Far Eastern fonts ten times harder
still.
> (The only library I found(for C++) was PDFLib, but it is not free)
Do a fair comparison of your months of coding time versus licensing
time.
>Adobe PDF Library is not free too(As I understand it)
Indeed not. From what we understand licensing is by negotation,
royalty based and never less than tens of thousands of dollars.
Frankly, too, it's not an ideal library for PDF creation.
>
>Yes, you are right! But almost every PDF doc is coded... How can I decode it to watch its contents?
Write a decoder. You are sure to need one as part of debugging your
own code at some point.
> Is there an example of font embedding in the documentation?
No, but it's just an extra FontFile, FontFile2 and/or FontFile3 key in
the FontDescriptor: not very interesting in PDF terms.
The key part is that you have to read and understand the font file
formats as well as the PDF format, because in most cases you have to
parse and may have to rewrite the font data. So if you want to embed
TrueType fonts, now is the time to read the TrueType font
specification (at least in outline, down to the level of the
individual tables: you can ignore the stuff about outlines and
rendering).
