Help a novice! Embedding Custom Font in CS5

Hi!
Can someone help me understand how to embed a font in Dreamweaver CS5?
A quick google search reveals instructions for embedding custom fonts in older versions of Dreamweaver but not recent ones... Is this because its somehow automated in CS5? I'm not really sure what to do! Thanks for any help!

Can someone help me understand how to embed a font in Dreamweaver CS5
You don't embed fonts into Dreamweaver. You embed fonts into your web pages with CSS.
You will need to find a suitable font. Not all commercial fonts can be embedded without violating copyrights. Read the fine print in your license very carefully.

Splash page and embedded custom fonts?

Hi
Just wondering how I tag/name a splash/intro page for a website? For example say you have: home (index), about, gallery, contact. For every page you have them tagged the same so they link within the site. How or what do you name the splash/intro page?
Also, I have some custom fonts I want to use for my sites and am wondering how to embed them so they'll be seen on any browser? Is there a one for all code?
Thanks,
Lee

The use of "splash pages" has fallen out of common use (really starting back in the 90's) and should be avoided for search engine optimization reasons.
Don't waste the first page your viewer's see on a splash page with a big "whoopideedoo you found our site, look what I can do with javascript" type of effect/animation. The first page your viewers see should give them the info they need to make a decision on whether to keep clicking through your site. It's the most important page of your site, make sure it is full of relevant, keyword rich html text content. If you still want a big "rah-rah-sis-boom-bah" style effect for a first visit, put it in a modal window that shows on the viewer's first visit. Use javascript cookies to set it's css to display:none for future visits if you don't want it to pop up each time.

Need help - problems with embedding bold fonts (Flash CS3, AS3)

So I'm tearing my hair out over this one project where I'm
trying to embed Arial in a project so that it can be used by two
different dynamic text fields. Nothing I seems to do works. If I
try embedding the font using the Properties window and set the text
fields to bold, the text doesn't appear. If I debold the two text
fields, the text DOES appear - but of course, without the bold. If
I try to embed the font in the library, link it, and use two
different TextFormat objects to format the text fields, the text
shows up - but it isn't bold, even though I set the TextFormat.bold
property to true.
So what's going on here? How can I fix this?
Thank you for your time.

In the Library, choose 'New Font'. Select 'Arial Bold' from
the 'Font' drop-down (don't just select Arial and click the bold
checkbox). Select the newly added from from the Library,
right-click and choose 'Linkage' from the context menu, and click
'Export for ActionScript'. The Linkage field should read eg 'Arial
Bold'.
If you want to apply Arial Bold to an entire text field,
select the field and, in the Font drop-down in the Property
Inspector, look for 'Arial Bold*' (with an asterisk): this is the
embedded version of Arial Bold that you just created.
So, you're using a specific Bold version of the font, not
merely setting a font to bold.

Dnyamic Custom Font Embedding To Textflow

Hello all,
I am creating a browser based editor application using the Rich Editable Text control. I have a user defined set of fonts in different swf files. I am loading those swf files at run-time. Here is the part of code below.
// Registers the fonts :
I have loaded swf file at run time using the Loader and then registered the loaded font to global font list.
var FontClass:*;
var dom:ApplicationDomain = event.target.applicationDomain;
FontClass = dom.getDefinition(fileName) as Class;
Font.registerFont(FontClass);
/* This works Fine !!! */
Now I am trying to apply the loaded font to textflow with the code :
var cf:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
cf.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF;
cf.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF;
cf.fontSize = mFontSize;
cf.fontFamily = mFontName;
var editManager: IEditManager = IEditManager(mTxtFlow.interactionManager);
editManager.applyLeafFormat(cf);
So, far I am using the device fonts its working fine and I am able to apply the font and when I am applying the custom font its not being applied but when I am exporting the textflow, it returns me the applied font name (i.e. custom font name I applied above).
One more question I would like to ask. I have different swf files (with same name and different url) for a single font with different styles like ClearviewATT-Regular,ClearviewATT-Bold,ClearviewATT-BoldItalic,ClearviewATT-Light. What will Flex do in this case, because for Flex all swf files having same name. Would it register the first swf only , all the swf's or the last one? What should I do in this case.
Please Help.

Thanks Rob,
I know about font face but, when you export your flash banner, with Adobe Flash CC, as HTML5 - You get canvas and javascript. I generate a text from txt file and it works perfect, however i need to find a way to embed custom font type for that text that I`m importing. I can`t do that in HTML because only HTML there is canvas, and once canvas is created I can`t do anything because it`s an image. So i need a way to embed font in javascript. As I`m familiar, adobe flash doesn`t have that option.
Hope I was clear this time
thanks again

Importing custom fonts into iPhone apps - HELP?!

Hey guys, new to these forums. Just wondering if somebody could answer a few questions regarding successfully importing and using custom fonts into iPhone applications. As shown here,
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=569311
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1447085
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/360751/can-i-embed-a-custom-font-in-an-iphone -application
some have shown success in doing just that. To those who have done it, what i wanted to simply ask is:
What type of subclass did you put the code in? Mines is a UIView subclass but doesnt work.
What kind of interface and with what controls are you using? I am simply making a UIView with the code in order to test to see if it works and test other properties and customizable functions of the custom fonts. It doesnt work.
What specific property declarations must be in the .h file? I have none and it doesnt work.
Note that when I say it doesnt work, it actually compiles without errors, but when I build and go I just get a blank grey screen.
What say you?

To use Stanza you need Stanza's desktop client in order to get your books onto the iPhone. If you have an account with eReader.com, you can upload personal content to your bookshelf and transfer them to eReader on your iPhone in the same way you do books purchased from eReader's website. Keep in mind that neither will work with MobiPocket books that are DRM protected. Stanza will work with non-DRM formatted books (including Mobi's format), but nothing which has DRM protection. I have both and use Stanza for anything without DRM protection, and eReader for books Palm formatted books with DRM protection.

Using custom fonts in app development?

Could somebody inform me if it is possible to use custom fonts of choice when developing an app. If so are there any restrictions? I have read that sinds OS 3.2 iPhonesupports custom fonts, ttf and otf fonts. Is this not the case also for the ipad? Or am I completely off track?
If one can add custom fonts do they work along the same lines as embedded webfonts, availale for all users even if they are not on their ipad?
I am a media design lecturer looking for correct info for my students who are doing the visual design voor an app.
Thanks in advance.

Hi William
I found one error. In the skin file, I had added a dependency to my css. It was missing a slash (/) to point to the correct folder level. Now that I've added that, the TOC displays the same font as the Index, Search results, and the topic (content, breadcrumbs, and footer). So, that's good, but on closer inspection, it looks like Verdana, not my custom font.
I changed the font in whthost.js to the name of my custom font and generated the help, but it made no difference. I also changed the font and just opened the help without generating and got the same results.
For your second suggestion, you mean whtdhtml.htm not whtdhtml.js? The custom font is in the lines:
setFont("Normal", "MyFont","10pt","Black","Normal","Normal","none");
setFont("Hover", "MyFont","10pt","#004080","Normal","Normal","underline");
I added the <font> tag to this file, but the tag just shows up as plain text within the webhelp TOC (no matter where I insert it in the file).
I also tried changing the font to my custom font for the Index body and Search results using the steps in Rick's Skinny on Skins (editing the whibody.htm and whfbody.htm files). When I do this, the serif font appears in the Index body and Search results.
It seems like the files cannot "see" my custom fonts (which are in a folder at the same level as my css).

Hi Paresht,
This may not be a Nokia's problem. Apple has a huge set of licensed fonts - this is presumably because of their background din publishing. When you generate a PDF in UNIX ( Mac OS X) it does not imbed the fonts which were used in the original document. Unfortunately, in order to read this PDF you would have to have the same font in the OS which you are opening the document in ( in this case Symbian) I doubt that Nokia has licensed the same amount of fonts. In normal circumstances the host OS will try to substitute missing fonts, but clearly this is not happening.
If the above is the case, I suggest you change font in your original document to something common (Times). if this helps then it is a font issue and you have your answer.
I hope this helps.

HOW TO: using custom fonts in native storyboard views from an ANE on iOS

Hey,
In our apps, we have embedded storyboards into an ANE, and successfully used those screens in an AIR app, and figured out how to use custom fonts in those views.
I wrote a quick blog post about it and just thought I'd share it real quick in case it helps someone.

Hi WayHsieh,
>>can I just "install" fonts through Word App? Does Word Apps have enough privilege to install fonts on Windows? Can I just click a button in Word App, and then it will install fonts automatically?<<
Based on my understanding, it is hard to achieve the goal. Because the app webpage is hosted inside an Internet Explorer control which, in turn, is hosted inside an app runtime process that provides security and performance isolation and it is under
low-Integrity level.
Here is the figure for apps for Office runtime environment in Windows-based desktop and tablet clients:

Editing a PDF file on Illustrator to maintain custom font from another computer

Hello,
I am trying to edit a PDF file on Adobe Illustrator and the file has a custom font in it that I do not have saved on my computer/Adobe does not recognize. Is there a way to save the file so that I can edit it, but so that Adobe does not replace the font with a basic font?
I have tried:
-Opening it in AcrobatPro vs. Illustrator
-Saving the PDF (2 pages) as 2 separate JPEG files and placing them into Illustrator... That just lowers the resolution of the images and they are much lower quality/more pixelated
-Placing the PDF file in Illustrator rather than opening it in Illustrator
None of those worked, and now I am not sure what to do.
Please advice ASAP- Your help is much appreciated as I am on a time crunch!
Thank you!

You can do it with Acrobat. Not Acrobat reader.
It is also possible with Preview.
Open the file in Preview and export it say to the Desktop.
Than open the second pdf and import the file.
Than you can delete tha parts you so not need and leave only one page.
It can be used if the pages are not too many or it will take a long time and I am not sure if it will work with big files.

Why does embedding Adobe fonts in EPUB cause all text to display as oblique?

I have been having this problem for a while now to various degrees, and I stopped using InDesign to build and export EPUB files for a long time because of it. Lately I have decided to try reintroducing InDesign into my EPUB workflow. However, I have found that whenever I try to export an EPUB 2 file from InDesign CC 2014.1 while embedding Adobe fonts, all the text in the EPUB displays as oblique when I open the resulting file in Sigil or Calibre. Removing and then re-adding the fonts with no obfuscation does not correct the issue. Not embedding the fonts during export -- or removing them from the EPUB entirely -- eliminates the display problem, but obviously I can't expect people to have these fonts installed on their computers.
I do believe most Adobe font licenses allow for embedding, so I don't think this is a security issue. For the sake of this discussion the issue I am having is with Arno Pro OTF (Regular, Italic, Bold).
I can't find anything about this on the web. Can anyone help me with this issue, or has anyone else experienced this at least?
Thanks!
Allen

Here's another piece of information to add to the puzzle. The first screenshot is from Calibre on an PC with Windows 8.1 (using Google Chrome as default search engine). The second is from Calibre on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1 (using Safari 8.0.2 as default search engine). Both with the same ePub file created on CC2014 on the Mac using Arno Pro for the Latin text, Adobe Song for Chinese, and Deja Vu Sans for the Hexagram

Using custom fonts in iBooks Author

I have a book in South Asian (Indic) script. The encoding is Unicode. I wanted to see how different fonts would look on iPad. Using iBook Author i created two different versions of the book. One used Gujarati MT, Apple supplied font. The second used open source TTF font. It checked out fine by MacOS when I installed it. The rendering of conjuncts (which would use additional glyph present in the font file) on iBook Author looks good. When I use "preview" function of iBook Author to see how the content would look on iPad, conjuncts dont use special glyph but only standard character (I guess GSUB is not utilized). I tried the same experiment with Arial Unicode MS and Shruti both are standard fonts provided under Windows. it appears that only Apple supplied fonts have correct glyph substitution on iPad.
Is there a way to fix it?
If the issue is with iBook Author, I can use another software. My book is plain text so Author is an overkill. I was using it to test embedding of custom fonts because Author is easy to use.
If the issue is missing definition in the font that is required by iPad rendering engine, I can get the font author to enhance the font.
I attach four images. First two are from iBook Author where rendering is correct. The next two are from iPad where rendering using non Apple font is messed up.

Is comment about enhancing the font to support AAT still relevant? Are you saying that iOS needs those AAT extension that macOS does not need? Is this mostly around MORX table?
iOS (and OS X) comes with two Gujarati fonts, Gujarati MT and Gujarati Sangam MN. So the easiest thing to do is to use one of those.   Other platforms will probably have their own default Gujarati fonts with different names.
If you want to embed a different Gujarati font in your .ibooks format book, then you will indeed have to convert that font from OpenType to AAT before iBooks will display it correctly.   It's not true that OS X no longer needs AAT Indic fonts -- Pages for example still cannot use Opentype Indic fonts.
To convert an Opentype Indic font to an AAT Indic font I think someone will have to add a morx table along the lines of what is contained in Gujarati MT.
Bear in mind that iBooks Author creates a format that can only be read on an iPad (unless you want to export to PDF). If you want to produce books for all platforms and readers, then you need to use .epub format and a different app, like Pages or Indesign.   With epub format you would probably not normally try to embed fonts but just rely on the reader to supply whatever Gujarati font is already on the device.

IWeb 08 - Custom Fonts not loading Anymore

All,
When I had iWeb '06 installed I could use custom fonts when designing and the fonts would display on any computer without having to install them. It seems that iWeb '06 used to load them as images.
Now in iWeb '08 that doesn't seem to be the case. Now you have to have the fonts on your system to view them. Anyone know a way in '08 to change this. Or should I just create those portions as images then add them to the page?
Thanks to all who respond.

HI phantom27,
While in iWeb, go to iWeb help and type in fonts in the search box.
In the results page, look at the bottom where it says "iWeb:Tips for making text appear consistant in all browsers. It will give you all the info you need.

Custom font not exported in PDF

Hello Guys,
In my web application, I have a crystal report developed in CR11 R2 SP3. The report uses custom font and it works fine when shown in report viewer.
However I get errors while exporting report as PDF.
1) In windows 2003 server, the pdf is exported without the font values.
2) In Windows XP, pdf is not exported at all and I get an error:
Error in File C:
WINDOWS
TEMP
CrystalReport1 {6A26233D-4832-44B1-AC8E-A21421F6A2E4}.rpt:
Error detected by export DLL.
Can anybody please help. One more thing. The custom font is fine and has been working fine in other crystal report based applications.
Thanks,
Shahzad

Ok, two suggestions:
A)
1) On your web app that throws the error, place label and a text box on your web form
2) Use the custom font for the label and in the text box
3) Run the app
Does that work?
B)
If it does, I'd recommend using filemon and regmon utilities to fins out what is failing. Filemon can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/filemon.mspx
Regmon is here;
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/regmon.mspx
Instructions on how to use the above:
1) Load Filemon
2) Press Ctrl + L. This will bring up the filter window.
3) In the 'include' text box, put the name of the aspnet worker process, without the full path. ie: aspnet_wp.exe (ok)
4) Click <OK>
5) Press Ctrl + X to clear the display.
6) run your application, get it to the point where it errors.
7) Save the filemon log. File -> Save as
8) Look for files where the 'result' column is not successful.

Keynote to ipad, with custom fonts and graphics

Have a keynote presentation we've spent a lot of time on.
Custom fonts, graphics.
I've given up trying to import it into keynote on the iPad. Fonts alone are a big issue.
So, trying converting it to quicktime, but then it plays as a movie, there is no simple, elegant solution to pause, or tap through the presentation.
Or, am I missing something?!
Appreciate any help.
Charles

Hi, i found this "solution".
It's impossible to upload new fonts on iPad, but you can convert your slides in pictures and upload your new presentation on iPad.
I dont' like it ... but it's the one way i found.

Install a customer font

Hi all,
we set the parameter gs_docparams-dynamic mit abap_true for generating the form, beause we locate some form objects dynamically. Now we need to embed our customer font other licenses (for the dynamic form design).
So, we installed the font (for dynamic design) on the ADS, but it is still the same problem, that the font is not embedded in the PDF.
Should the font be installed on the ADS and the client?
Do somebody have install instructions? ...or other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Hi,
What ever font you installed in ADS, Same font you need to install in your Desktop/Laptop where you are designing form.
Once the fonts are installed, they are visible in your form and you can include the fonts in the form.
Note: After Installing the font in ADS, you need to restart the ADS Service(Normally basis people will do this)
Thanks.
