Loading external fonts in midp apps

hello every body

please provide a sample code if you can on how to do that....

yes i need the font for display purpose. basically i am developing an application that receives an unicode character string upon request and display the content in bengali language. i have installed the Arial Unicode Ms to my machine and edited the .properties file of the default phone from sun wireless toolkit accordingly. Arial Unicode Ms supports my language. i am using StringItem to output my content. but when i am output the content it doesnt change the outcome. it just simpley outputing the unicode string as if it has been passed!!!!

public class UnicodeTest extends MIDlet
     private Display display = null;
     private Form fm = null;
     private StringItem si = null;
     private Command exit = null;
     public UnicodeTest()
          display = Display.getDisplay(this);
     public void startApp()
          fm = new Form("My form");
          si = new StringItem("in bengali: ","KixeDUw�k gwvlw hwnwk BxZpwo L�g �gxm xb�dk dt");
          fm.append(si);
          display.setCurrent(fm);
     public void pauseApp()
     public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
          notifyDestroyed();

How can i get & use java true type fonts in my applet

Hi,
I could get the System fonts in my Applet by making use of Toolkit.getFontList()
I have used getGraphicsEnvironment to get fonts but my browser doesn't support it.I get ClassNotFoundException.
How can I get & make use True Type Fonts in my Java Applet.
Regards
Siva

To use getGraphicsEnvironment, you must convert your HTML with the HTMLConverter -- this will tell the browser not to use the native JVM to run your applet but to use a Java plugin to run the applet. If you cannot find HTMLConverter in your system, you may have to download it from Sun's web site.

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);

External Fonts not loading properly in panels & buttons, works fine in labels / edits - help!

Hey guys,
I'm new to developing in Flex, so please excuse any
ignorance.
I followed the basic tutorial to use Flex to import external
fonts... here's my CSS code:
@font-face {
src: url(components/fonts.swf);
fontFamily: "Blue Moon";
global
color: #000000;
fontFamily: "Blue Moon";
fontSize:20px;
Here's what's happening:
1) On my development machine, I have the "Blue Moon" font
installed. Everything works fine here - I see the Blue Moon font on
everything in my project, from the titles of Panels to Buttons, and
so on. Everything's great.
2) On all other machines, which do NOT have the Blue Moon
font installed, I see the Blue Moon font properly on the labels and
edit boxes, but NOT on the buttons or on the title areas of panels.
Here is my site, so you can see what I mean:
http://thedemenscycle.com/
Assuming you don't own the Blue Moon font, you should notice
that the panel titles are a default font, where the "Username" and
"Password" and edit box fields are the Blue Moon font.
I am forced to conclude that for whatever reason my code is
not applying the externally imported font to the panels and buttons
for whatever reason. But it DOES apply the local font on the
machine, if availible. I'm really quite confused.
Any insight / help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I had this same problem, ended up just droping the fonts,
would be nice to see an official response to this issue.

External Font Embed

I am experimenting on embedding external fonts. I found this example on the web http://marumushi.com/news/embedding-fonts-in-as3 but it does not work for me. Anyone tried it? I just changed "somefont" to a font that exists on my system like AGENCYB.TTF:
[Embed(source="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\AGENCYB.TTF", fontFamily="foo")]
But it generates errors:
unable to resolve 'C:WINDOWSFontsagencyb.ttf' for transcoding
Unable to transcode C:WINDOWSFontsagencyb.ttf.
Is there something wrong with the example in that link? And why is there an unused variable "bar"?

dont now the the use of bar variable
Here's the code which worked for me..
package
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
    import flash.display.Stage;
    public class EmbedText extends Sprite
        [Embed(source="Fonts/Walkway Black.TTF", fontFamily="Walkway Black", fontStyle = "Regular", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
        //public var WalkwayBlack_Font:Class;
        var tf:TextField;
        public function EmbedText()
            Add_Text(30, 0x000000, 400, 20, 20);
        public function Add_Text(_size:int, _color:uint, _TextWidth:int, Xpos:int, Ypos:int):void
            tf = new TextField();
            tf.embedFonts = true;

            var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            format.font = "Walkway Black";
            format.color = _color;
            format.size = _size;
            format.letterSpacing = 2; // spacing between each character
            format.leading = 10; // distance between each lines
            tf.defaultTextFormat = format;
            tf.text = "Hello World! This font is Walkway Black which is not in this fla but is in the local folder(Fonts) it searches for the font runtime";
            addChild(tf);
            tf.x = Xpos;
            tf.y = Ypos;

64-Bit External Fonts

Does anyone know how to get Logic 9 External Fonts feature to work in 64-bit mode?
I use the Jazz fonts in all of my scores, and I would like to have this work in 64-bit mode, otherwise I have to operate in 32-bit mode all the time which is a bummer.

Hi,
After googling for two days, I finally found a workaround for my macbook pro 15'' (macbookpro5,3).
I had sound on Windows 7 64bits (with volume ok) and without the red light problem, but i couldn't hear anything from my tv with sound cable connected to headphones. My current version of bootcamp is 3.1 (with all drivers installed from it).
I tried all kind of things (drivers from vista64, xp, bootcamp 2.2, realtek, other versions of cirrus drivers, etc.) with no luck. THE SOLUTION FOR ME WAS TO INSTALL LATEST DRIVERS FROM NVIDIA (YES, graphics drivers) OVERRIDING THOSE FROM BOOTCAMP 3.1. After macbook restart, MY EXTERNAL SPEAKERS STARTED WORKING!!!
Hope this helps to anyone.

Using external font file in a pdf document

Hello,
I try to create programmatically a pdf file which whould use an external ttf file. Right now my soft generates something like this:

endstream
endobj

endobj
The times.ttf is in the same folder as a pdf. The document opens without error though the rendered text is completely different from that it suppose to be. I didn't find a good exemple in PDF spec and probably I intrepret it in a wrong way. I would be very thankful for any clue what is wrong in my code or a sample how could it be done correctly.
thanks in advance

From the snippet you posted, it appears that you didn't properly write out the value of the /F key in the stream.
However, that's just one of the reasons this won't work as you are expecting. Even after you fix that, you should know that Adobe Acrobat & Reader have their support for external streams turned OFF by default (for security reasons) and that other viewers don't even support it at all.
Is there a reason you don't wish to embed the font? Or use standard referencing?

Font problem in Applet (Urgent)

Hi all,
i m using a font to render the japneese character in an applet.and i m doing some text manipulations with that.and the font is TrueType font.Now if the client has that font file it renders with the japneese text.it is fine.but when the client system doesnt have the font file installed it still gives the font object(i think it is default font object supported by the JRE) which is not of TrueType.so my text manipulations behaving wrongly which i dont want to happen.If i able to find the font object returned is of TrueType or not then i can resolve this issue.
So anybody can help me,is there any method (or anyother way to achieve it) to find whether the created font object is of TrueType or not.i have seen the Font class and its related api ,i couldnt found such method.SO can anyone help in this regard.it will be greatfull.
thanx
prakash

However, if you upload the font onto your server, there is a way
that you can use that font file, rather than relying on your user's fonts. but can any one tell me about the way to use the font file from the server , rather than relaying on the user's fonts??

How to use special font in an applet so that text can viewed in any browser

I have created an applet in which I use text with special font I have installed in my PC. The applet is correctely executed with associated html file in my PC. I try to execute the files in another PC in witch the font is not installed. Text with the special font is not correctely viewed.
can you help me how to do?
thanks

Both java.awt.Component and java.awt.Graphics have a method setFont(). You can set whatever font you want. However, if the user does not have that particular Font installed, whether the font is auto-installed for the user is browser and browser-setting dependent.

Working with external fonts and director

Hi,
when working with UTF-8 fonts or other big fonts compiling
can be such a
pain. When having multiple big fonts I could go and get me a
coffee
every time I compile my flash movie.
I use textfields for every font format I use so I could use
it as linked
library member but it does not work when using it in
director.
Does anyone know a solution to this? How to avoid compiling
big fonts?

Hi MK,
No, maybe I didn't express it precisely
It's not about the DB or its vendor, it's about the DB schema.
You can of course reuse the system JDBC driver to create a DS to this external DB, however it cannot be Open SQL (Open SQL is available only with the system DB schema)and therefore usage of SQLJ is not possible with it.
Hope it makes more sense now!

SEVERE PROBLEM IN USING SYSTEM TRUE FONTS IN AN applet.

Hi friends,
I am writing an applet which shows the text in differrent font in the browser.
The problem is that in the browser the applet does not take more than five default five font of java.
I took a list of all the fonts available on my system and used that names to show differrent font text successfully in an standalone application.
I dont want to use java plugins.....
I think there is a way by sigining the applet.....but how to do it ......what code to be wrtitten in applet......
Please give the solution for this.
Thank U for your Views
Jagdish Singh Karki

What method are you using to find out the font family names? Toolkit's getFontList() doesn't give you all fonts but it still should be more than just the five...
