Embedding fonts with an application
This is a multipart question so I will put up some bucks for a good answer.
I am writing an application and have a set of fonts that I want to bundle with it. I want the application to use ONLY these fonts and not have access to any other system fonts. Does anyone have any experience with this and is it even possible. My thinking is that I would need to somehow install the fonts on the users system and then modify the font.properties file. I would like to bundle everything together in the application but I don't think that is possible, is it?
If this is a simple thing and I have just not looked in the right places for an answer than point out those places to me and earn some Dukes! I have looked everywere and there doesn't seem to be much info out there, but what do I know... I may be dumb, I do not argue that.
WHAT DO I DO?
CAN I DO ANYTHING?
I AM TIRED!
Help me and earn big bucks.
Thanks.
Well if you're using JDK 1.3 and up, you can do it easily with the following code:
FileInputStream fileStream = null;
Font font = null;
try {
fileStream = new FileInputStream("BASSETB.TTF");
font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, fileStream);
font = font.deriveFont(Font.PLAIN, 12);
fileStream.close();
} catch (Exception e) {}
Font.createFont(x,y) only works with true type fonts, and is only availabe after JDK 1.3. But you don't have to mess with any properties files this way.

Problem embedding fonts with ButtonSkin class with SDK 4.5.1
Hi,
I've an external style file calling into main mobile application which has codes something like these:
@font-face {
src: url("../fonts/TektonPro-BoldCond.otf");
fontFamily: TektonProBCnd;
embedAsCFF: false;
.buttonStyle {
embedFonts: true;
fontFamily: TektonProBCnd;
fontSize: 24;
skin: ClassReference(null);
.text_listMediumText {
fontFamily: TektonProBCnd;
fontSize: 24;
color: #666666;
In my application the embedding font styles working properly when directly bind with any component with 'styleName' property (i.e. text_listMediumText). I've also one button something like this:
<s:Button label="CONNECT" skinClass="actionScripts.ui.SketchButtonSkin" click="onConnect()"/>
And the skin class is as follows:
public class SketchButtonSkin extends ButtonSkin
// PRIVATE VARIABLES
* CONSTRUCTOR
public function SketchButtonSkin()
super();
width = 268;
height = 50;
// OVERRIDDEN API
// Override this function to prvent the button from drawing a background
override protected function drawBackground(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void{
override protected function
labelDisplay_valueCommitHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
labelDisplay.setStyle( "fontSize", 20 );
labelDisplay.setStyle("fontFamily","TektonProBCnd"); // or, labelDisplay.styleDeclaration = styleManager.getStyleDeclaration(".buttonStyle");
But I not ever could embed the font with this buttonSkin class. Any help please (?)Try linking a Scroller into your app.

Problems with embedded font with medium or heavy weight
Hey guys,
I'm switching a current Project from Flashbuilder Beta2 to the Flashbuilder final release.
I have a big problem concerning embedded fonts. The fonts I have to use are Futura Com Medium & Futura Com Heavy.

font-weight: normal;
fontFamily: myFuturaMedium;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
embedAsCff: false;
.myDatagrid{
fontFamily: myFuturaMedium;
color: #ff0000;
this worked well in beta2, but I'm not able to get the embedded Font working in the datagrid with the Flashbuilder final release.
Any help on using embedded fonts in a mx|Datagrid is highly aprechiated.

Embedded fonts with rich editable text
Hi, I am trying to use my embedded fonts in rich editable text field, but it only works for users that already have that font installed on their system.
This is what I do.
I embed fonts like this:
@font-face {
src:url("fonts/Cantarell-Regular.ttf");
fontFamily: Cantarell;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
@font-face {
src:url("fonts/Cantarell-Bold.ttf");
fontFamily: Cantarell;
fontWeight: bold;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
Then in my DropDownList (id=fontPicker) I add a new string entry that references my new font (in this case "Cantarell")
I have a custom item renderer which makes sure to print out the name of the font using the font itself, so that for example font name "Cantarell" will be printed out using Cantarell font. Code in my custom font item renderer looks like this:
<s:Label id="labelDisplay"
fontFamily="{data}"
verticalCenter="0"
left="3" right="3" top="6" bottom="4"/>
And this part works, even if you dont have the font installed on your system, the name of the font is displayed propperly.
The thing that I want to do is to select some text in my rich editable text field and change the font of the selected text depending on what user selected from the dropdownlist. I added an event which is called once user selects new font type, and it performs following code on the selection in rich editable text:
if(fontPicker.selectedIndex == -1){
//user did not select anything, we do not change the font
text.setFocus();
return;
//we get the text layout format of the selected text
var txtLayFmt:TextLayoutFormat = text.getFormatOfRange(null,text.selectionAnchorPosition,text.selectionActivePosition);
//we change fontFamily of the selected text to the font that we just picked
txtLayFmt.fontFamily = fontPicker.selectedItem;
// I even tryed to add those two following lines without much help
//txtLayFmt.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
//txtLayFmt.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;
// we update our selected text with new font
text.setFormatOfRange(txtLayFmt,text.selectionAnchorPosition,text.selectionActivePosition );
text.setFocus();
This code works perfect if user has the font installed on their system but it does not work if they dont have the font even if I embed the font.
What I am doing wrong, any suggestions, tips, links?
Thanks,
DalThanks I will take a look at your blogs, maybe I find some explanations.
Once it comes to my problem, I found a solution, I just needed to add a simple style:
.mystyle1 {
fontFamily:Cantarell;
and set the styleName of my text to it:
text.styleName = "mystyle1";
Afterwards I can dynamically change fonts and sizes of the text selections in my rich editable text field as much as I like.
Also I need to make sure that I set embed-as-cff: true;
@font-face {
src:url("fonts/Cantarell-Bold.ttf");
fontFamily: Cantarell;
fontWeight: bold;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
embed-as-cff: true;
I hope this helps someone.
And if anyone has explanation to why embedded fonts work only after I change styleName of a text to a random style, please share with me.
Cheers,
Dal. -
Embedding Fonts with Forms Service RenderPDFForm
We have several custom fonts being used in PDFs we're rendering using the Forms Service RenderPDFForm API. Rather than require consumers of these PDFs to have those fonts installed, we'd like to embed them in the PDFs being generated. Is it possible to embed fonts using RenderPDFForm?
TomIn the adobe/LiveCycle8.2/deploy folder there is a file called:
adobe-forms-ivs-jboss.ear
Deploy that file on your app server (note that the name may change to reflect your app server). Once it is deployed you can access the application (it is a testing program for Forms). The URL is:
http://machinename:port/FormsIVS
Once it is loaded click on the preferences in the top right corner. Scroll to the bottom and add the administrator/password for your installation. In the first field (called Options) changed the parameter PADebug=0 to PADebug=1. Don't forget to hit the save button at the bottom of the screen. This will return you to the Test Form Design screen. Choose a form from the right List (I chose PurchaseOrder_Dynamic Interactive.xdp). In the Output format dropdown, choose PDFForm. Now click on the Use EJB button. A call to form server will be generated and returned to the screen. Because we have PADebug set to true the whole process is being traced. I am running a JBoss server so the files are written to:
C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\svcdata\FormServer\Debug
It will be a different location depending on the appserver type you are running. In that folder is a file called:
debug_xci_pdf.xml
Make a copy of this file and rename it to MyTest.xci. This is the control file we will pass into the call and also modify to embed fonts. Open this file with an XML editor. In the xci file look for the pdf node under the present tag. In that node there is a child node called fontInfo. There is an embed tag in there that is set to 0. Change it to a 1 and save the file. Now in the call to Forms you can pass in a URI to this file in the XCI URI parameter. You can change this in the FormsIVS application in the options string and try it for yourself before changing our app. So now each time you want to embed the fonts pass the XCI URI into the call otherwise use the default one that is embedded in the jar file.
Let me know that it worked for you. -
I have a client wanting a particular font used on a web page.
I have searched a bit as to how to do this and apparently it's possible with a few lines of CSS code.
I don't see too many examples and I am sure there will be compatabililty issues with browsers.......
Any actual experience out there.
Thanks,
RickHi
Be aware that these will ONLY work in Firefox 3.6.x, Safari 5, Chrome 8+
(pretty sure about this one), IE 9+, Opera. Older versions of IE and
Firefox will only show the default browser font instead of
substitution.
Sorry but this is not true, the @font-face rule was first implemented in IE4.5, and works across all the current IE version, the difference is the font format, (file extension used) in version of IE < 9, but it does still work, and as for Firefox the @font-face rule was implemented from version 2, but again the font file extension was changed in version 3. and additional types of font files have been implemented in FF4, Safari (and Chrome) also has similar implementation to FF, (from version 3) but does not include the new format as an alternative.
The licensing issues are the only real major drawback now and this will probably not change for a few years yet.
To find out how to use @font-face, (cross-browser) and for free 'open-source' fonts my recommendation is - http://typekit.com/, which is much better than Googles offerings, there are a number of paid for services available and a search, (using your preferred search engine) will find these for you, but in no circumstances should you even consider un-licensed use of fonts.

Problems with embedded font on spark RichText control
« Hide
I have an embedded font that appears correctly when used with Halo components, but when associated with the spark RichText component, it is not recognized.
The embedded font is defined in css file, my css file
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts.swf");
fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue";
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts.swf");
fontFamily:"Helvetica Neue";
fontWeight: bold;
global{
color:#333333;
fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue";
fontSize:12px;
The embedded font it used in the following manner:
<mx:Label styleName="panelTitle" text="Hello There" width="263" x="21" y="11"/>
<s:Group width="410" x="38" y="52" height="50">
<s:RichText styleName="panelTitle" text="Hello There" fontFamily="Helvetica Neue" width="263" x="21" y="11"/>
</s:Group>
The Label shows the embedded font correctly while the RichText control does not. It does not matter if the fontFamily is specified explicitly on the control or not.
I created a bug SDK-22137, but since I'd need to get this working soon any help would be appreciated.Just a friendly reminder. Many of the examples on that site are fairly old and havent been updated to use the latest APIs. For example, "cff" has recently been renamed to "embedAsCFF". In fact, here's a better example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

fontWeight: normal;
embedAsCFF: true;
@font-face {
src: url("assets/georgiab.TTF");
fontFamily: embGeorgiaCFF;
fontWeight: bold;
embedAsCFF: true;

<mx:Label text="Halo Label" />
<mx:Label text="Halo Label (bold)" fontWeight="bold" />
<s:RichText text="Spark RichText" />
<s:RichText text="Spark RichText (bold)" fontWeight="bold" />
</s:Application>
Also, depending on what you're trying to do, this may help you: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/06/14/using-a-cff-embedded-font-with-a-halo-label-contro l-in-flex-4/. Basically, you can set the textFieldClass style on certain Halo controls and have them use the mx.core.UITLFTextFieldClass (instead of the default mx.core.UITextFieldClass) so they can take advantage of the new CFF fonts.
In fact, here's the same example as above, but with the single embedded font:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

This is probably an easy one.
I have got a font that we purchased online. It's a non-standard font.
I use it in my application.
How do I package this font with the application so that everyone can see it regardless of their browser?
Thanks!
EmmaIMHO, it may not be easy. Browsers display HTML using the fonts installed on the user's system. Also, browsers usually allow the users to override the document settings and choose their own font preferences.
- Microsoft provides a web embedding font tool (WEFT): http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/. But this is non-standard and will not work on other browsers.
- You can use programs like Flash. Programs like Flash are plugins/addons to the browser and perform their own rendering.
- You can provide the pages which needs to be in a specific font as an image in your application. (Run the page on a machine which has the fonts installed and capture the image). Including the pages as images is in a way taking over the rendering of HTML from the browser...
If HTML needs to be displayed in a custom font, the application can provide links to the font file and provide (platform-specific) instructions on manually installing the font and setting the browser preferences correctly. The browser will also need to be likely closed and restarted for the changes to take effect... -
Using HTML text with an embedded font in Flex 4
I have spent a day searching the interwebs and have not found a working example of how to use an embedded font with html formatting.
Anybody know if it can even be done??Should be doable, but all fonts used in the html have to be embedded, and
one of the fonts should be specified as the fontFamily for the component. -
Hi,
I had a piece of information but I can't seem to find it anymore so I have to ask ...
This is about understanding limitations of fully embedding fonts in a PDF (from Indesign Server). Actually it's about one limitation in particular. I know fonts with licensing issues or fonts that are marked "embedded not allowed" will not be embedded. Also, there is a threshold that I need to set.
So, I recall reading somewhere that Indesign will not fully embed "standard" fonts. Is that correct and what is this standard fonts category?
Oh, reading through some posts, I noticed lots of people and experts ask why does one need fully embedded fonts. That's a good question and I don't know the root reason but in my case it seems that some regulatory agencies (in the life sciences/pharma domain) require PDFs with fully embedded fonts.
Many thanks
CristianOn behalf of Adobe:
(1) For both InDesign “PDF export” (including InDesign Server) and Illustrator “save as PDF” functions, most but not all of the .joboptions file font embedding options are totally and utterly ignored. The options that are ignored are the Embed all fonts, Embed OpenType fonts, Always embed, and Never embed. Those options are observed by Distiller and the PDFMaker components of Acrobat.
(2) These applications will attempt to embed all fonts referenced by the document, regardless of the settings of the .joboptions file. The only reason why a font would not be embedded in a PDF file would be if (a) the font was unavailable (i.e., not installed on the system) or (b) the font's embedding permissions do not permit embedding for at least preview and print privileges. Thus, if you use the so-called Standard .joboptions (strongly not recommended for any graphic arts purposes), even the base 14 fonts (four faces each of Helvetica, Times, and Courier along with Symbol and ITC Zapf Dingbats will be embedded if your document references them.
(3) The subset threshold value of 0 (zero) may effectively cause all the glyphs of a font to be embedded in some, but not all cases. This will work for many if not most Type 1 fonts and some smaller TrueType and OpenType CFF fonts. Note that embedding all glyphs in a font is not the same as embedding a full font. For OpenType and TrueType fonts, InDesign and Illustrator never embed all the tables of the font. Such unembedded tables include those used for pair kerning, advanced OpenType features (such as ligatures, alternate representations, contextual alternates, small caps, old style figures, etc.), and extended metrics.
(4) There are plenty of bubbameissas out there with regards to the benefits or liabilities of either fully embedding or subset embedding fonts. What is true is that: (a) Acrobat never uses the embedded font for text editing - you must have the font installed on the system in order to do such edits. (b) Subset embedding or not is totally irrelevant to what a RIP does when rendering text, either for PostScript or direct PDF RIPs. Neither subset or full embedding is any more reliable than the other and the specifications of PostScript and PDF do not permit the RIP to replace the embedded font with a font with a similar name - urban legend notwithstanding!!!! (c) Third party plug-ins to Acrobat or applications that claim to allow you to edit PDF files with embedded fonts may be illegally letting you do so if the embedding permissions do not permit embedding for editable embedding or installable embedding - most fonts do not provide such embedding permissions and since the fonts are missing metric information, such editing may be somewhat lacking in quality or features.
(5) In fact some very non-tech-savvy organizations have posted requirements for full embedding of fonts in submitted PDF files (I have personally seen one such requirement by some international bureaucracy). They can post such bone-headed requirements based on limited understanding of PDF and PDF workflows, but that doesn't mean that anybody actually provides such PDF files. If in fact you run into such requirements, I would appreciate it if references to same can be forwarded to my attention by private message on these forums.

Embedded font not working in Spark Label control?
Hi,
I'm trying to use embedded fonts with the Spark Label (formerly SimpleText) control. I'm using SDK 4 build 10485 now, but I could not manage it in Beta 1 neither.
I'v been playing with cff: true/false, embedAsCFF:true/false but no results.
I've added my test application where it does work with the Halo <mx:Label> control, but not with the Spark <s:Label> control.
So, no compiler errors, but the Spark label control shows a serif (Helvetia?) font where it should be sans as does the Halo control.
Can anybody help me out here?

Hi All,
I have applied embedded fonts in my application using CSS file.Issue we are facing for components like Titlewindow,Panel and Alert in which Header style is not reflecting with the embedded font family instead maintaining with its default font.I have also mentioned the CSS sample below for ur reference.@font-face{
src:url("Assets/verdana.ttf");
fontFamily: TTVerdana;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;}
Application {
backgroundColor: #FFFFFF;
backgroundGradientColors: #FFFFFF, #FFFFFF;
fontFamily: TTVerdana;
themeColor: #FFFFFF;}
Note : I also tried out fontfamily style specific to TitleWindow,Panel etc in CSS as mentioned but still no effect
TitleWindow {
fontFamily: TTVerdana;
fontSize: 11;
borderAlpha: 0.44;
headerHeight: 20;}

AIR 3.0 mx:HTML embedded fonts in external swf - silent craziness
The recent upgrade to AIR 3.0 has hosed our application. We rely heavily on an mx:HTML control to render the UI of our application using javascript and HTML templates. Everything has been working great in production for months, until Adobe released AIR 3.0 last week. We use embedded fonts in our application that our defined in an external .swf (loaded at runtime). The HTML control loads a .css file that references the name of our embedded font "ArialEmbedded" and it all worked great. But now, with 3.0 it does not respect anything in the external .swf. We get the default Times New Roman font in all of our content, and the app crashes with reliability (in debug mode and release mode) without any exceptions being thrown.
Using the Windows Debugger, I have been able to track it down to this call consistently - Webkit!cairo_pattern_get_type with an Access Violation erros - c0000005 .
After some Googling, it seems webkit uses Cairo for the graphics rendering portion of the library, and in this case it is trying to render a specific color.
1) I've tried forcing the moduleLoader on the HTML control to use the moduleLoader of the parent Spark component - to no avail.
2) Did something change with style management and loading external .swf files?
3) Any other help? At this point, I have no idea where to begin. When it crashes, usually during the rendering of items in a grid the AIR process will grab about 2GB of RAM all at once and then stop working with the windows process stopped working dialog.
Thanks for any help,
