How to embed custom font (tamil font [ta_IN]) in my android application

We are developing a mobile application (targeting for android & ios) using Adobe Flash Builder 4.6, Adobe AIR 3.5. Requirement is to localize the content for indian languages, and rite now we are targeting tamil locale. We implemented the localization, it is working for the locales where the fonts are available on the device, like french, chinese etc., but not for tamil locale. As the device doesn't have the font, we would like to embed TTF font.
After googling on the subject, these are the steps we did to embed tamil font, without any luck.
1. Used fontswf to convert to SWF
2. In the main application, we embed the SWF (got the Class reference)
3. Registered the font
4. When the locale is changed to Tamil, we are changing the application style (fontFamily) to the Class that we got in Step 2
PS: Currently we are testing on android devices, however the solution needs to work for ios as well
Unfortunately, this is not working. Requesting your help in this regard!

i am bumping this up. i cannot seem to get this to work on iOS, but was able to get this to work on Android using device fonts.
Anyone here have expereince dealing with the Tamil language on iOS through AIR?

How to set custom font family in qml label in black berry 10 os

how to set custom font family in label text qml in black berry 10 OS

AFAIK, this is not the correct way to set the image location.
We call the working directory as context, so inside the context root along with WEB-INF, maintain a folder with name img and put all the images in that directory.
You can use either .\<image_folder> or the optimum way would be (if you are using JSPs) to use getContext() method and traverse accordingly.
FYI,,, using getContext() will give you context root directory, from there it is as simple as accessing any other folder.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers,
Jeets.

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:

How to embed a font air Android App????

Hi, im new to this forum so please forgive me if i question in the wrong section.
I am Beginner and am working on an air android game in flash cs6.. i need embed fonts please help me sort out htis problem..

The easiest for me is to simply embed your font into your main document class, like this:
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.text.*;
     public final class MyApp extends Sprite
          [Embed(source="../fonts/ITCAvantGardeStd-Bold.otf", embedAsCFF = "false", fontWeight="bold", fontName = "ITCAvantGardeStd_DemiAndBold", mimeType = "application/x-font-truetype", unicodeRange="U+0021-U+007E, U+00A9, U+00AE")] // Main characters + Copyright and Registered glyphs
          static public var ITCAvantGardeStdBold:Class; // that's what the embed gets baked into
          Font.registerFont( ITCAvantGardeStdBold ); // do this once per font
          public function MyApp():void // Constructor
               // Create a textformat that uses the font
               var tft:TextFormat = new TextFormat( "ITCAvantGardeStd_DemiAndBold", 20, 0xffff00, true ); // size = 20 pix, color is yellow, bold = true, matching the font weight
               // create a text field
               var tf:TextField = new TextField();
               with ( tf )
                    antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED; // optional
                    defaultTextFormat = tft;
                    embedFonts = true; // this is using an embedded font
                    width = 100;
                    autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
                    wordWrap = true;
                    text = "Hello world ! blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah";
                    height = textHeight + 8; // nice and tight
                    border = true; // for fun
                    borderColor = 0xffff00; // yellow
               addChild( tf );
     } // end of: class
} // end of: package
The embed statement contains several optional properties, like fontWeight, fontStyle, and fontFamily.
Check here for info: http://divillysausages.com/blog/as3_font_embedding_masterclass
Note: Alternatively, you could use Flash Professional to embed the font into the document class via the IDE ( like so: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/embedding_fonts.html ).
Also, for these kinds of questions, I recommend:
1) O'Reilly -- Essential ActionScript 3.0
2) O'Reilly -- ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook

How to embed custom search field in toolbar

My organization wants to integrate the Zoom Search Engine by
Wrensoft with RoboHelp 7. We want to embed the search input field
for Zoom in the main toolbar of the Help window. The skin editor in
RoboHelp does not provide an easy way to do this. I can add a
custom button that links to the custom search form, but I cannot
figure out how to embed a custom search field in the toolbar. Does
anyone have any experience or direction you can provide us?

I very much doubt that can be done. There's a topic on my
site about integrating ZoomSearch but the start point of any search
is a field that ZoomSearch provides in the htm page it creates.
Getting that field onto your toolbar is going to be outside the way
Zoom was designed.
Your developers would have to pull apart the mechanics of
that page and figure it out, if it can be done.
Have you tried approaching WrenSoft to see if they can
suggest anything?
Personally I think it is going to be a massive effort for
minimal benefit. What's the objection to clicking a button that
provides a page with the field and the results? If you get the
field into the toolbar, the search page has still got to display to
show the results.

How do I clear the recent documents screen on the android application when the clear icon is no longer visible?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software but the clear recent documents icon is no longer visible as formerly experienced.

Hi,
The 'Clear Recents' button which was provided in previous releases only *cleared* the Recent list and did not delete the files. The files stayed in your document hierarchy. This button has been removed in the latest release. For deleting the files, you can go to the Documents/Acrobat.com tab and delete the files individually. However, please note that the files will be permanently deleted from your device. Please let us know if this is not a viable option for you. We would like to hear more about your use case.
Thanks,

How to embed font into PDF - Listener 2.0.2 FOP configuration

I need to embed custom font into PDF report in order to print one of Slovenian characters: Č (C with caron) This character shows as # sign when I generate standard PDF report using Apex 4.2.2 and Listener 2.0.2. As far as I understand 14 native Adobe PDF fonts are based on Windows 1252 encoding. This encoding doesn't include mentioned Slovenian character.
Oracle White paper http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/custom-pdf-reports-1953918.pdf says:
"APEX Listener 2.0.2 supports only the Base-14 fonts. To configure additional fonts, see this document: Apache(tm) FOP: Fonts "
I was able to embed my custom font into standard Apache FOP report server. Solution consist of saving two files my_font.ttf and my_font.xml to server and update of FOP userconfig.xml file (fonts part where path to saved 2 files have to be specified)
How can I do this on Apex Listener 2.0.2 ? Where is located userconfig.xml file?
Simon

Hello Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
There is no way we can control the fonts in the created PDF / while creating the PDF using the class cl_document_bcs in your PDF creation logic.
You can try some other approach of creating PDF from the Smartforms OTF stream data .
Try using the follosing FM for the PDF creation and sending email:
CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL
SO_OBJECT_SEND
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL_NEW (Try this but this FM still uses the class that you are using currently. But give it a try and see the results)
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Greetson

How to Embed Fonts and make Grayscale in Acrobat Pro 9 PDF

I supplied my printer with a PDF but he says that I need to "Embed The Fonts" in the PDF.
I made the original document in MS WORD and then I created the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 but nowhere
along the way did I see anything that asked me to Embed The Fonts.
He also says that the type is in RGB but it needs to be in Grayscale.
When I created the PDF I didn't see any option along the way that gave me a choice between
RGB and Grayscale.
Any ideas how to achieve these two effects while going from an MS WORD document to a PDF using
Acrobat Pro 9 please?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry to bother you with my problem but I wondered if you could explain a little bit more about things I didn't understand.
1 - you said > On a Mac there is no advantage to using the Word plug-in.
Do you mean that I can type directly into Acrobat?
I thought that a document needed to be created in a word processor first before I could turn it into a PDF.
Is that incorrect then?
2 - > Create the pdf file a print file menu gives you greater control.
I do apologize but I did not understand this statement either, could you please expand on it a little (to a non-techie.)
3 - > If you use the Press job option setting, the fonts will be embedded.
I can't find Press job option setting anywhere - I am using Acrobat pro 9 but there doesn't seem to be a menu with Press
anywhere, could you please expand on this a little bit too please.
4 - > If the pdf file has already been created it can be converted to greyscale using the Preflight or Convert Colors
under Advanced -> Print Production.
I understood this part and I executed it according to your instructions so thank you for that.
Unfortunately I couldn't find out how to embed my fonts and my printer charged me $75 to do that
so I was pretty upset about not being able to understand that part of your explanation.
Since the printer was able to embed the fonts in a document that was already a PDF then it must be possible
to embed fonts after a PDF has been created, is that correct?
If that is correct then i don't know how I could not find how to do it because I looked everywhere for that
ability but I could not find how to do it.
I'd be very grateful for any further help you could give, thank you.

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.
