Embedding Wingdings with DefineFont 4 and Gumbo

Sorry for the repost.
I'm having an extremely difficult tracking this issue down.  I hope someone can help!
Replication
Copy the Wingdings TTF (from your OS font library) to the Flex app path
Use the following code for your Flex app:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
     layout="vertical" height="500" width="800"
     fontSize="20"
     xmlns:ns="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
     <mx:Style>
          @font-face {
               src: url(Wingdings.ttf) ;
               fontFamily: Wingdings (DF4);
               fontStyle: normal;
               fontWeight: normal;
               cff: true;
          @font-face {
               src: url(Wingdings.ttf) ;
               fontFamily: Wingdings (DF3);
               fontStyle: normal;
               fontWeight: normal;
               cff: false;
          .rDF4 {fontFamily: Wingdings (DF4);}
          .rDF3 {fontFamily: Wingdings (DF3);}
     </mx:Style>
     <mx:Label text="Wingdings (DF3)" styleName="rDF3"/>
     <ns:RichEditableText styleName="rDF4"
          width="300" height="400"
          text="Wingdings (DF4)"/>
</mx:Application>
Run the app
Expected Results
Both the Halo component Label and the Spark component RichEditableText should have wingdings, but I'm seeing the default system font within the RichEditableText.
Can someone repro or help me find my error?  I can swap the wingdings font for any other font (except Nadeem) and it works great.
HELP!!!

Is that this bug http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-21712?
I added a note to the TLF bug and sent the owners an email to try and get some action going.
Thanks for the report

  • Printing with HP B9180 and Photoshop Elements 8 and Color Management

     I've got a bit of confusion about certain settings in the printing process and I've posted a rather long discussion of my 'issues' and confusion.  I hope someone can give me some guidance here.  I've seen a lot of these issues addressed in many places but I can't seem to find an integrated response.  Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and respond.
    Color Management Questions
    My problems started when I was getting pictures that were too dark from my HP 9180 printer after having gotten very nice prints for a long time.  I had obviously started to do something differently inadvertently.  The only thing I think that is different is that I got a new 23 inch monitor, which does produce much brighter on-screen images.  So, I started to do some research and know just enough about color management to be slightly confused and have some questions that I hope someone can give me some help with.
    Equipment Background
    I use both a Canon 20D and a Canon PowerShot SD600 camera. Both have the default color space as sRGB, although the 20D can be also set as RGB.
    I also use Photoshop Elements 8, where there are a variety of settings possible for printing.
    My monitor is an HP S2331, whose color space is sRGB and cannot be reset to RGB (I think) except for temperature; the default is 6500K.
    My printer is an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer, where there are also a variety of settings possible.
    I’m running XP-Pro.
    Here’s Where I Get Confused
    Everything I have read about color management (various web sites, forums, books, etc) says to have the image, monitor, and printer all in the same color space.
    Everything I read about PSE 8 (same sources) says to set PSE 8 to ‘Always Optimize for Printing’ under Edit>Color Settings in order to get the best prints.  This displays photos based on the Adobe RGB color space. 
    I am taking pictures in sRGB, and telling PSE 8 to process them in RGB by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’.  Is this something I should be concerned about?  Should I reset my camera for RGB?
    Further, by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’, I am setting PSE 8 for RGB while my monitor displays sRGB.  Is this an important issue or is it also much ado about technicalities that an amateur should not worry about?  It does violate the ‘keep them in the same color space’ rule.
    Next, when I go to File>Print and get the Print window and then do the Page Setup and Select Printer, I then go to More Options in the lower left of the window.  Under the More Options window, I select Color management and select Photoshop Elements Manages Colors.  Next, there is Image Space, which is fixed and not subject to selection from a drop down menu. 
    I understand that this is the image space of the image I took with my camera and that information is embedded in the image.  Correct?
    Next, there is Printer Profile.  But, from what I have read, this is where the IEC profile of the paper being printed on is supposed to be selected, isn’t it? 
    Shouldn’t this more appropriately be called Paper Profile, or Printing Media Profile?  Further, this drop down menu appears to be somewhat erratic, sometimes showing all of the paper profiles I believe are loaded, sometimes not. It also shows listings such as Working RGB-Adobe RGB (1988), Adobe RGB 1988, Dot Gain 10%, 15%.... along with a lot of paper profiles.  Aren’t those profiles unnecessary here?
    I’ve used both Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual Rendering and am happy with either one. 
    Next, when I go to Printer Preferences, in order to “…disable color management in the printer preferences dialog”, under the Color Tab, I select Application Managed Colors from the Color management drop down menu, and also have the option of selecting ColorSmart/sRGB and Adobe RGB (1988).  
    Is there any time when I should use either ColorSmart/sRGB or Adobe RGB  (1988)?  If I were staying with my camera’s sRGB setting, given the fact that the monitor is sRGB, would the appropriate selections be ‘Printer Manages Colors’ and ‘ColorSmart/sRGB’?
    Finally, under the Features Tab, I go to look for the same paper I selected under Printer Profile (Question 4 above).  If it is one of the pre-loaded (by HP) profiles, it is there, but if it is a profile I downloaded, say for an Ilford paper, it isn’t listed, and I need to guess at an equivalent type of paper to select.
    Is there any way to get that listing to appear under the Paper Type drop down menu?
    I know that this is a long post, but it helped me to clarify my ‘issues’.  Thank you for any and all suggestions, answers, guidance and help.

    RIK,
    Some printers have long names, esp. HP printers, and PSE gets ":confused." In control panel>devices and printers, right click on the default printer, go to printer properties, and rename the default printer to something short, e.g. "Our Printer." That may fix it..

  • Is it possible to embedding a video in Keynote and then play as a PDF?

    Hi
    Is it possible to embedding a video in Keynote and then play as a PDF?  I want to do a PowerPoint/Keynote presentation that includes videos from YouTube.  My preference is use Keynote although I do have Office 2004.
    My issue is that the places where we present have their own equipment so we are encouraged to bring the presentation on a USB/portable HD, and they tend to be Windows environments.
    In my perfect (ignorant) world, I'd
    Create it in Keynote
    Add/embed videos from YouTube
    Save it as a multi platform file like a PDF
    I guess the key issue is:
    Is there a way to create a multi platform presentation with videos (I think Keynote and PPT require different video formats???) that can be carried on USB/portable HD?
    Thanks

    No, it's not possible without using hacks. And Adobe can't support or endorse hacks
    Bear in mind that not only there are new features in a new version which can't possibly be recreated by an older version - also, there are enhancements to existing features, which would make them render differently in the two versions.
    That said, there are people posting such hacks, as Sébastien pointed out.

  • Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

    I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
    Some additional information  - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
    As it stands now,
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
    Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
    If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

    The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
    If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
    Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
    Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

  • Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

    Hi there,
    I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
    When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
    In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
    I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
    Thanks,
    Michael
    HP Pavillion dv6000   Windows Vista  

    Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
    The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
    However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Embedding SWF in MS Excel and MS Access

    I have a SWF (FLASH) file which accesses external XML data source. As per Flash Player's default settings, this file has to be made trusted in order for it to access the data.
    When this SWF is embedded in MS Excel, I have the Flash Player Trust Settings coming up. But when the same file is embedded in MS Access , I do not have any issues/Settings and it can access the external data.
    I would like to know the reason why MS Access prevents such issues while MS Excel does not?
    This will be greatly helpful as I want to prevent such issues in MS Excel. Please help out on this.

    Thanks Jeromie for the reply.
    But I require the data source to be in XML as the flash file needs to be refreshed with new data and XML is the only option for that. And the location of XML has to be hardcoded. It cannot be changed post development. Hence this current approach.
    If you could give me any better approach which solves this problem , I would appreciate it very much . Thanks

    * Fixed deprecation warnings with AST generation and a Repeater RTE
    caused by revision 4709.
    tests Passed: checkintests, mxunit repeater, asc-tests
    Needs QA: YES

    Bug fixes: SDK-16288, SDK-18986
    API Change: NO
    Reviewer: Corey, Pete F.
    Code-level description of changes:
    asc/src/java/macromedia/asc/embedding/LintEvaluator.java
    Added ignoreSynthesizedCode variable and setter.
    Modified warning() to only skip synthetic code when
    ignoreSynthesizedCode is false. This allows us to report
    deprecation warnings when using AST generation with Mxml
    documents.
    compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/as3/As3Compiler.java
    Modified analyze4() to set the LintEvaluator's
    ignoreSynthesizedCode flag to false.
    compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/mxml/lang/StandardDefs.java
    Added CLASS_REPEATER_DOT.
    compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/mxml/rep/init/VisualChildInitializer.java
    Modified getAssignExpr() and generateAssignExpr() to code gen the
    initializeRepeater() call. This required changing the return type
    of generateAssignExpr() from ExpressionStatementNode to
    StatementListNode.
    compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/mxml/rep/init/ValueInitializer.java
    Removed initializeRepeater() related code gen from
    getDefinitionBody() and generatedDefinitionBody().

  • Seamless repeating pattern - using embedded images with clipping masks

    Hi forum,
    We struggle a bit creating a seemless repeating pattern that includes embedded images with clipping masks applied.
    Our pattern is a 550x550mm black square with various embedded inserted on top. All of these images have Clipping Masks applied to hide unwanted areas.
    These images are placed so they create a seamless repeating pattern and this includes areas that overlap the square.
    Once we create a swatch from this pattern the repeatable area becomes too big as it includes the unwanted areas hidden by the clipping masks.
    Because the repeatable area is now too big it's actually not repeatable.
    We tried various things in order to solve this issue. Pathfinder/crop to delete the unwanted areas in the images etc.
    None of them worked good enough.
    We though of just livetracing the images, but due to the complexity this is not an option.
    Do we really have to do our "cutting" in Photoshop or do you know any fancy tricks for issues like this?
    Appreaciate your insight
    Kenneth

    Kenneth,
    You may try the destructive deed, with the Clipping Mask selected:
    1) In the Transparency palette/panel dropdown list select anything but Normal (Multiply is fine),
    2) Object>Flatten Transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% Vector,
    3) Shudder.
    This should reduce the size to the Bounding Box of the Clipping Path.

  • Cannot view embedded video with FP 11.8.800.175 on WIN 7 Laptop with IE 10.0.9 - hear audio

    I am running a laptop with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer version 10.0.9.  I have loaded and reloaded Flash Player 11.8.800.175.  I want to be able to see embedded videos on websites like Bloomberg TV - all I get is the audio, screenshot below
    Videos seem to work fine in YouTube.
    I have tried the various fixes I have found on this site:
    - deleting flashplayer & macromedia folder as directed,
    - using regedit and finding the MIME folder and associated shockwave-flash key (I have tried changing permissioons as well as deleting the key) (found this in a thread but can't find it again)
    - Checked the activex settings
    - Checked the Manage Add-ons section in settings and all ok there.
    But still do not see the video content - please help before I go crazy.

    I've had this exact same issue (can hear, but not see MOST embedded web videos).  I can see and hear videos on YouTube, but on a site like Vimeo, I can hear the videos but cannot see them.  I have Windows 7, and the latest versions of IE and Chrome.  I get the same exact problem in both, so it doesn't seem to be a browser issue.  Is there any new input here?  Did you ever get the problem resolved or still looking for help?

  • Display issue with Combo Boxes and Logo

    Hi All,
    I am facing a couple of issues with my dashboard:
    1. Combo boxes display - I have placed a series of combo boxes one below the other. During the preview, when I click on the first combo box, the values spread below. That is, the labels, and options of the next combo box are also visible. The options in the combo box are not seen clearly. I have tried many permutations and combinations with "Bring Forward +" and "Send Back -" but none of them seem to work. For example, keeping the first combo as bring forward and next one as send back etc. Can you please help me in this regard?
    2. Logo - I have used image component and embedded a logo from my local system. Later I saved the xlf in the repository. When I import the xlf from the platform, it displays the logo fine. But however, this behavior is not constant. It sometimes doesn't show the image. Do I have to save the image also in the repository? or in a common shared folder? If I embed the logo does it not mean that the xlf hold the copy?
    Any help in this regards is highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Sandeep.

    Hi:
       For your question
    1) Do you need your combox overlapped? I tried to overlap my comb box and preview it, seems works fine for me. it only chooses the first comb box. But I am suggesting that if you want to show/hide the different combox in the same position at run time, you can try to control the visibility by some other component.
    2) The answer is NO, the image embedded in the image component will be saved to xlf file, there is no need to save it individually. Try to clean your cache files in your machine and do it again.
    Hope it helps.

  • Creating a Simple Flash Movie With Poster Frame and Play/Pause Buttons

    Hi, It's been over a year since I played with Flash last, and
    I have completely forgotten everything I learned.
    I have a .flv file which I want to play on my website. It
    should display a poster frame when the page load, and not autoplay
    the movie. It should have the play button I made in photoshop
    sitting on top of the poster frame. When pressed, the movie should
    start playing and the button should be shifted for the pause button
    I made in PS (it should work just like the play/pause button in
    iTunes). When the movie has finished playing, it should jump back
    to the poster frame.
    I have tried using the flvplayback component and also played
    around with just embedding the flv directly and inserting a play
    and pause button from the common library, but I can't seem to get
    it to work. With the flvplayback component I have managed most of
    it apart from using my own buttons and getting the poster frame to
    work (which apparently has to be done with Action script).
    Any help appreciated.

    Which version of Flash/actionscript are you using? Since you
    are just starting out, you should read one of Adobe's tutorials on
    the matter. Either use Flash Help to find examples on how to use
    Flash or go to their website. Here is a great tutorial for someone
    just starting out. Make sure you read all three tutorials in "Using
    Flash for the first time".

  • Can you have a DIAdem file embedded in a web app and then when you click the link to the DIAdem file it invokes DIAdem?

    Can you have a DIAdem file embedded in a web app and then when you click the link to the DIAdem file it invokes DIAdem?

    Hello JCN,
    I will keep in touch with the current Applications Engineer who will be assisting you with this issue and update the forum with the status of the problem. I personally think that your best option would be to create a link that opens DIAdem and then runs a script to load the data from a predetermined file (Rather than a link to the file itself).

  • ISV embedding database with one instance per server limitation

    Hi All,
    As an ISV, it would be nice for Oracle to provide a better embedding solution than a silent install then having to script the creation of, or restore the database. Not because it's too complicated for an ISV to script, but purely for speed reasons. It's much faster to copy pre-loaded data files onto a machine than to create empty data files, load the data in, perform an analyze and any other scripts on the database. Dems just my thoughts.
    However, my real issue is regarding the 'one instance per server' install limitation. As an ISV, if I choose to embed Oracle XE in my application - how can I 'guarantee' that my product can be installed on any given server. Picture this:
    - We submit a proposal/ tender for a license to our software.
    - Client, in conjunction with their IT dept adds internal costs, identifying servers that will run on, responsibilities, project plans (the whole works) etc.
    - Client gets signoff from their management and pays for license.
    - Client goes to install our software using Oracle XE just to find that another ISV has their software with Oracle XE embedded installed on the server.
    - Client either has to find/ buy another server, or we lose the license. Either way, client is unhappy.
    Am I missing something here? Is anyone else anticipating this problem?
    Brad

    Hi Florin,
    Thanks for the response.. a good suggestion and our schema would be < 1GB so size would hopefully not be a problem. However, as soon as we plug into another appliation's Oracle XE implementation - we've potentially lost control of the database and it loses it's "embedded" nature. Probably not a huge problem if it's an application independant implementation of Oracle XE by an IT person, but if it's another ISVs embedded database - the dramas could start.
    We effectively put our user's database within the control of another application who may not have considered the possibility of our data residing there. eg. They could do a 'drop-all' and we lose our database. Or tune the database right down and our application suffers. Or the user uninstalls that application and it decides to automatically remove Oracle XE (after all, that ISV thought it was an embedded application, right?). Do you see the potential issues?
    Perhaps Oracle XE isn't as attractive for ISVs as first thought... I guess at the heart of the issue is the fact that Oracle XE isn't really an embedded database. It's just a database you can [silently] install with your application and then becomes a general db on the machine.
