Load font dynamically

Hi,
I need to load font dynamically in my application
The swf size is 2.34 MB (which contains the 20 embeded fonts)
My application size is 1.92 MB
SDK 4.0
OS is windows XP
It takes 1 min to load 20 fonts in list. But i wants to load more than 200 fonts dynamically
Please suggest me the way to reduce the loading time.
I have used the following code in application's creation complete event to load the swf,
var cssEventDispatcher:IEventDispatcher=styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("assets/style/Prop ertyFonts1.swf")
cssEventDispatcher.addEventListener(StyleEvent.COMPLETE, onComplete);
Thanks in Advance

What code are you using to load the font?

Font dynamically loaded

Hi everyone,
A simple question because I think I already know the answer, but will be glad if someone corrects me.
I know how to embed and use a font with the Embed in AS3, similar to what Flex uses.
My question is: if I have textfield dynamically created by code, and want to assign to it a font. Is there a way that I can attribute the font dynamically, say by teling what font goes to that textfield through XML?
Probably I have to prepare the font to be used in a specific folder. But imagine that you have several font possibilities in that folder. Can you assign one of them to that textfield by code, according to what the XML says?
... Or just load several fonts and pick one of them from what the XML says?
Thanks

Yes it is possible.If you are using flash cs5.5.
simple example :
var comboTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
   currentFontname = comboBox.selectedItem.label;
   comboTextFormat.font = currentFontname;
   comboTextFormat.size = 15;
   myFormat = new TextFormat();
   myFormat.size = currentFontsize;
   myFormat.font = currentFontname;
   QuestionText.defaultTextFormat = myFormat;
   QuestionText.text = currentText;
   comboBox.textField.setStyle("textFormat", comboTextFormat);
This will help you. try it let me know
Thanks

Trouble in loading external swf file and embedded font dynamically

I have developed a flex application doing something like this: it loads A.swf from somewhere and show it on the stage
sometimes A uses fonts not installed on users' machine, so at this time my app will load B.swf with needed fonts embedded in it from another place
I have working it out that fonts in B.swf can be detected and shown in my app stage, but when I use SWFLoader to show A.swf, it still fails in showing the fonts properly...
Some of my codes pasted here:
// load fonts
private function onFontBytesLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
var data:ByteArray = e.target.data as ByteArray;
swfLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSWFLoadComplete);
swfLoader.source = data;
private function onSWFLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
loadSM = SystemManager(swfLoader.content);
loadSM.addEventListener(FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE, onFontLoadComplete);
private function onFontLoadComplete(e:FlexEvent):void {
var clazz:Class = loadSM.loaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(fontName) as Class;
var fun:Function = clazz.getFont as Function;
var fontClazz:Class = fun();
var font:Font = new fontClazz() as Font;
trace(getQualifiedClassName(new fontClazz()));
Font.registerFont(fontClazz);
if(loadFinishedHandler != null) {
loadFinishedHandler(fontName);
Anyone has idea about this? 3x~

Hm, yes, I remember there being some challenges in this regards, with Modules loading fonts at runtime.
If you take a look at the section "Using run-time style sheets with modules," they describe the basic approach where everything has to be loaded and registered in the primary application domain.
I think it should work fine the way you have it, provided you are registering both the font and the loaded SWF in the primary application domain. If not, you may need to push the font registration down into the application domain being used by the loaded SWF.
Something like this perhaps:
childApplicatonDomain.getDefinition('flash.text.Font').registerFont(fontClass);
Where childApplicatonDomain is the application domain of the loaded SWF.

Loaded fonts not available to apps

Running 10.6.8, using Font Agent Pro, have not had problem for past year and a half, and all of a sudden yesterday, fonts not recognized by apps. Using Quark, versions 6 - 9, Adobe Creative Suites CS3 - CS6, Word, Excel, etc. I have loaded fonts through Fontbook instead of using Font Agent Pro, I have removed caches with terminal, ran Repair Disk Permissions, Shutdown, boot in Safe Mode, everything I can think of. In Fontbook, fonts display correctly but a lot of them are not available in other Apps. For instance, Arial & Arial Bold not available, but Italic & Bold Italic are fine. I work at a commercial printer and this is killing me!

Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the font installatons?

[solved]cannot load font dzen2

hello. I was able to apply space for a bottom gap for DWM. I am trying to get dzen2 and conky to show up at the bottom. I have conky-cli installed as well.

also will this work to load dzen2 at startup?
this is in my xinitrc

Loading fonts into FInal Cut Pro 5.0.4

Is it possible to load addtional fonts into FCP 5.0.4?
I loaded the font into all the font folders I could find and still they have not shown up in the Final Cut pro fonts? I restarted twice?
Am I missing some hidden file that I must load the fonts into?
Thanks for your help

There is no provision for loading fonts into FCP. Use FontBook to add fonts; choose to make the fonts available to all users so they'll be installed in .[boot drive]/Library/Fonts.
But even with that, FCP won't see just any font. FCP seems to be partial to TrueType Data Fork fonts.

Illustrator wont open, stops at loading fonts

I have Illustrator CS6, Mac 0Sx 10.8.5. About 2 months ago it wouldn't open and keeps stalling when loading fonts. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice without any change. I have tried taking out fonts that it gets stalled on but then it stalls on the next font. I also use Photoshop and I'm not having an issue opening.
HELP!!!! This as been over 2 months without being able to use this program.

la allstars,
In the following list, note the Cleaner Tool in 6). The most likely/relevant items in 5) may be 1 and 11.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Loading Fonts from diff domain

Hi - When I try to load fonts from a diff domain, it loads but when I call a font.regiserfont, it throws a AS error.
In the main application, this is what I do to load the fonts.
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = true;
var testFontloader:Loader = new Loader();
testFontloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, function(e:Event):void{
     var FontLibrary:Class = e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition("testFont") as Class;
     Font.registerFont(FontLibrary.font);
var testFontReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(model.serverLocation + ServiceURLConstants.ASSETS_PATH+"/embeddedFonts/testFont.swf");
testFontloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,CheckFontLoadComplete);
testFontloader.load(testFontReq,loaderContext);
And it throws an exception while it tries to register the font and it does not register it acutally. The main app is in code domain (domain1) and font swfs were placed in content domain (domain2)
Error is:
ArgumentError: Error #1508: The value specified for argument font is invalid.
     at flash.text::Font$/registerFont()
     at MethodInfo-778()
I tried wih diff options, as to set loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = false; but they did not bear any fruit.
This is the code to acualy embedd the font.
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.system.Security;
     import flash.text.Font;
     public class testFont extends Sprite
         Security.allowDomain("*");
         [Embed(source="/fonts/testFont.ttf", mimeType="application/x-font", fontName="testFont",
             unicodeRange="U+0020-U+007F,U+00A0-U+00A3,U+00A8-U+00AB,U+00AE,U+00B4,U+00B8,U+00BB,U+00B F-U+00CF,U+00D1-U+00D6,U+00D8-U+00DC,U+00DF-U+00EF,U+00F1-U+00F6,U+00F8-U+00FC,U+00FF,U+01 31,U+0152-U+0153,U+0178,U+02C6-U+02C7,U+02DA,U+02DC-U+02DD,U+2013-U+2014,U+2018-U+201A,U+2 01C-U+201E,U+2022,U+2026,U+2030,U+2039-U+203A,U+20AC,U+2122,U+FB01,U+FB02", embedAsCFF="true")]
         public static var font:Class;
Can someone guide me on what am I doing wrong? or is it possible at all to load and register fonts from a diff domain at all? Pls let me know if you need more info. Pls treat it as urgent!!

I have not tried it, but the principle should be that you load the SWF into
the same security domain which requires that you have a crossdomain.xml file
in the right place with the right permissions. You will probably not be
able to test your configuration from urls that begin with file://. You will
have to deploy to a server and fetch via http://.
BTW, did you prove it works from the same domain. I'm not sure INIT is the
right event to wait for. I'd wait for an ENTER_FRAME after COMPLETE.

Load fonts from file

In Java I can load fonts from a file or register it:
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
     ge.registerFont(Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("A.ttf"));But in JavaFX this code shows the error:
cannot find symbol
symbol : function registerFont(java.awt.Font)
location: class java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment
It is probably because the registerFont method was only added in JDK 1.6
How can I register a font in JavaFX or load it from a file or create a JavaFX font from the java.awt.Font class?

I tried this but the text is not shown.
I guess it is because the font size is zero.
How can I change the font size in this case?
The code below shows an error:
def fxFont = com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.getToolkit().getFontLoader().font(awtFont);
fxFont.size = 24;Main.fx:19: size has script only (default) write access in javafx.scene.text.Font
fxFont.size = 24;
1 error
My application is:
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import java.io.File;
// http://www.fontfreak.com/charactermaps/a/AajaxSurrealFreak.htm
def path = "D:/Download/Browser/temp/AAJAX.TTF";
def awtFont = java.awt.Font.createFont(java.awt.Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File(path));

Loading font from external *.swf

So!
I have 3 movies.
1)Main movie - index.swf
2)Movie with created & checked in linkadge "Export for
runtime sharing" fonts in library - fonts.swf
3)movie with text fields which need embeded fonts to work in
a proper way. Fonts in the library checked in linkage as "import
for runtime sharing" - content.swf
What happens:
I strike CTRL+ENTER and run movie index.swf.
on the (for ex.) 10 frame it loads fonts.swf with
movieClipLoader class..
then in the same way on (for ex.) 100 frame, i load content
swf
BUT!!! before it starts loading process IT DOWNLOADS FONT.swf
again
SO HOW DO I PRELOAD fonts from external *.swf..
maybe there is yhe way without using runtime sharing..
but i've heard that loaded whith movieClipLoader movies don't
adds objects from their library to main movie liblary...
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!

can you give your erroe source code,and then i will give you the success code.
in the function
private function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void {}
ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition("com.scottgmorgan.ExternalMovie") ;
use like this:
var EMClass:Class=loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition("com.scottgmorgan.ExternalMovie") ;
then you can new a instance :
var emInstance:Object=new EMClass();
emInstance.alert("hello word");
and we also can use other method. so email me [email protected]

After 12.1 Update - Unable to load font "^0" "Helvetica Neue" error

I've just updated to After Effects CC 12.1, and I'm now getting the following error when launching:
After Effects warning: Unable to load font "^0" "Helvetica Neue"
After pressing OK, I get another error:
Cannot load font required for the After Effects interface. Please replace the font or reinstall After Effects.
And then a final error:
After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during application startup
I'm on Mac OS 10.9, and this was working just fine with the 12.0.1 patch. I've double-checked that Helvetica Neue is installed and all other CC apps work just fine. Any ideas?

Hello
Here's what worked for me
In font explorer I had several instances of Helevetica Neue fonts (Same font name but not same file name).
I deleted these instances in Font explorer.
I went to fontbook and restore defaults fonts.
After effects opened perfectly.
but now as KLTV8
i get this message when I quit the application

Chuchi,
You may try to have a look at the list, maybe especially items 1) and 11) under 5).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
