Lost text / font embedding

Hi I have an old .fla file that i need to edit, it was created and stored on another machine that uses Flash MX 04, and i am trying to edit it on a machine using CS5. When i open the file, it says some fonts are missing, i change it to use default adobe, but some of the text is missing, sort of like if you have a missing link in inDesign, or illustrator. When i go to test the scene, it says to embed fonts, but presumably this is something that needs to be done on the old machine, as it displays fine on there, no lost text or anything.
Can anyone tell me a way i can embed the fonts in the original file, before transferring it to my machine to edit, or if there is a way i can "package" everything before transfer (again, like you would with links in indesign)
Any help is much appreciated!

change all the fonts to fonts you have on your system and embed all the fonts for all the textfields. make sure no dynamic textfield has text added in the ide.

Font Embedding in dynamic TLFTextField

hi, how to get the same features of a static text field in TLF TextField dynamically;
for eg. I kept a static text in stage with features like font family= "verdana", color="0x000000", bold = true, font size =14.
i created a TLF TextField dynamically, with same features, but the UI is not exactly the same,
can anyone help me to solve this,
Thanks in advance.
// Coding sample-------
package com
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Document extends MovieClip
private var format:TextFormat;
//Stage size = 400*200 ( For Testing )
public function Document()
   createFormat();
   var TLFText = createTLFTextField();
   TLFText.text = "Font Embedding Problem";
   TLFText.defaultTextFormat = format;
   TLFText.embedFonts = true;

Font embeded

what should i do for this problem...
"Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts."

Select the textfield on the stage and oin the Properties panel use the Embed button to embed the font into the textfield.
Or you can just ignore it altogether as it is not an error but just a warning/suggestion. You might want to check your Publish Settings to insure that they are set for AS2.

Output: Font Embedded

When i test my movie then in output box it gives d msg as:
Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.
Don't know what is the problem????
Anyone who can help

i) Download or purchase that relevant font you used for your project
ii) Goto> control panel > fonts > and paste the font files (it will get installed on your system)
iii) Restart flash.
Select the textbox you have and check for the property window which have a buttton font embed, or use Text > Font Embedding

Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
find anything that would match...
I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
and adjust position.
Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
3.3 SDK.?
Thanks in advance

Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.

How do you define which character set gets embedded with a font embedded in the library (i.e. Korean)?

I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all
contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's
library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from
external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a
CSS object.
This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different
languages.
Everything works great with one exception: I can’t
figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime
sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean
characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text
display correctly.
I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and
re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also
tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.
I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to
embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in
the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim,
I know that it is easy to specify the language you want to
use when setting the embed font properties for a specific text
field but my project has hundreds of text fields and I'm setting
the font globally by referencing the font symbols in a single swf.
I have looked at the info you've pointed out but wasn't
helped by it. What I'd like to be able to do is to tell Flash to
embed a language specific character-set for the font symbols in the
library. It currently is only embedding Latin characters even
though I know the fonts specified contains characters for other
languages.
For example. I have a font symbol in the libary named
"Font1". When I look at its properties I can see it is spcified as
Tahoma. I know the Tahoma font on my system contains the characters
for Korean but when I compile the swf it only contains Latin
characters (gylphs) - this corresponds to the language of my OS (US
English). I want to know how to tell Flash to embedd the Korean
language charaters rather than or as well as the Latin characters
for any given FONT SYMBOL. If I could do that, then, when I enter
Korean text into my XML files the correct characters will be
available to Flash. As it is now, the characters are not available
and thus the text doesn' t display.
Make sense?
Many thanks,
Mike

Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? + Eye straining firefox!

Is there a way to have hardware acceleration without the text font change? I remember there was a way to go into settings before and getting hardware acceleration to work without the font change. Unfortunately I lost ALL my previous setting when uninstalling the beta ver Nightly and clicking delete settings :(.
Also, I fixed a problem before where firefox was visually eye straining to me, I think it was some settings in anti-alias tuner, but I cant seem to find the right settings that puts less strain on my eyes, anyone know? Thanks ahead. Currently using FF7.

Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.<br />
Filter: gfx
Others to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D

CSS & AS3 Font Embedding

We have an application which is built like so:
Framework SWC
Application SWC
- Sub-application for web
- Sub-application for desktop
- Unit test runner
- etc.
The applications all share a look and feel including fonts. This was easy to achieve with Flex 3 using the trick with placing a defaults.css file at the root of the Flex Library Project. This would apply the CSS in the defaults.css file as the default theme, and font embedding calls in the CSS could refer to font files in the Flex Library Project. It worked great because we are also using a Sprite-based custom label class which embeds its font using AS3.
Now, the CSS font embed lines only work if we also place the fonts in the Sub-application. This means we have to have the fonts copied in every sub-application for the CSS as well as in the SWC for the AS3 embedded label class.
Is there a better way to achieve this in Flex 4, if we want embedded fonts in AS3 as well as Spark components?
Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly why you can't use Label and RichEditableText. You
might want to revisit that decision.
If the font is embedded in the main app SWF and is picked up by TextFormat,
then the most common possibility is that somehow other SWFs are being used
to factory the FTETextField. Maybe since styles are now per-SWF that's what
is going on.
I cannot use Label or RichEditableText because that particular text is being displayed in a completely Sprite-based view. We feel for that portion of the view that it is worth giving up the advantages of UIComponent to get something lighter weight.
The font for the Sprite-based text is embedded in the class for that text field. The font for the UIComponent-based text is embedded using CSS. Is there a way to use a single compiled SWF for both? Would the SWF just be a single class embedding the fonts? That way we could pull it in at runtime. Would that work for the TextFormat as well?
Thanks,
Patrick

Getting small fonts embedded in Pages PDFs... how?

I have a Pages document that has a block of small (6pt and 7pt) type. When I create a PDF of the document, the OS X PDF creation system substitutes bit-maps for the characters, and there is a significant loss in legibility. If I create a similar PDF using Adobe Acrobat X (via the Print / PDF / Save as Adobe PDF method) these characters are represented correctly. Here is a illustration of the problem: first image via Adobe Acrobat, second image via OS X.
The document is intended to become a Template for use on our company's Mac computers (running iWork 09 / Mountain Lion currently), and these computers will need to be able to generate PDFs from the template. It is not helpful for us to have to install Acrobat X on every machine simply to allow this to happen.
Is there a way to adjust the settings for PDF creation within OSX to correct for this problem?
Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.

Hi Tom,
Really helpful suggestions. Don't solve problem, but do get me much closer. I checked the embedding information as you suggested, and the Font is being embedded in both the OS X document and the Acrobat document, but the way in which the font is embedded is different between the two documents.
Separately, I checked what the document looks like in Acrobat (not tried this previously, as most of our machines don't have it), and the two documents look the same. Also, Preview prints both documents to look the same.
So in a way I suppose I don't need to worry about it - it looks ugly, but is not affecting the function of the document generated. But would be better if I could get Preview to not produce jaggy text if I could (as we can't afford to install Acrobat on machines just to eliminate this problem). Any ideas?
Background information...
Here is the information reported by Acrobat about font embedding for the Frutiger Light font - first image for the OS X generated document, second for the Acrobat generated document:
The report on embedding is quite different.
The OS X generated file has embedded a "Type 1" subset of Frutiger Light five times, using Custom and or Roman encoding.
The Acrobat generated file has embedded a "Type 1" subset of Frutiger Light twice using ANSI and Custom encoding and has also embedded a third subset of type "Type 1 (CID)" with encoding "Identity-H".
Second, another view of the file when viewed in Preview, even more zoomed in that previous one - the first two images from left are OS X generated (export / best, print / save as PDF), the third is Acrobat generated, and has much less jagged edges on d or W for example:
Here are same documents (in same order) viewed in Acrobat - text renders the same in each case.

AS3 dynamic font embedding bug

Hi all,
Is there a known bug for the following case?
Case:
A project I'm working on doesn't seem to handle font embedding correctly when the font is added dynamically using actionscript. When I test my movie it does not display the embedded font at all. Curious about this is, that when I create an empty project using the same code and then embed the font and test the movie it displays the font without any problem.
Sometimes a reboot of the machine I'm working on will suffice to make the embedding work again, but sometimes is not all the time. So I was wondering if there was a memory related bug that causes this behavior. If so, is there any sight on a solution for this bug? It's more than annoying to reboot eight times a day, just to test a movie.
How did I embed the font:
1. Create a "New Font" in the Library, set the properties and give it a classname.
2. Using actionscript to embed the font in a dynamically generated TextField.
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.text.Font;
import flash.display.text.TextFormat;
import flash.display.text.TextField;
public class MyClass extends MovieClip{
var myFont:Font;
var myTextFormat:TextFormat;
var myTextField:TextField;
public function MyClass():void{
myFont = new Font1();
myTextFormat = new TextFormat();
myTextFormat.font = myFont.fontName;
myTextField = new TextField();
myTextField.defaultTextFormat = myTextFormat;
myTextField.embedFonts = true;
myTextField.text = "Lorem Ipsum...";
addChild(myTextField);
Cheers!
Do

I don't have Flash IDE on this machine so I cannot say for sure but try to register font:
public function MyClass():void {
     Font.registerFont(Font1);
     myFont = new Font1();
     // the rest...

Font usage (=fonts embedded in Illustrator)for stock design (=commercial purpose)

Hi,
I have a question concerning the commercial usage of the fonts incorporated in Illustrator. Is it legal to use them (after converted into outlines) for creating stock vectors and then selling them on stockphotos/designs web pages? If I have purchased the product itself, do I have to purchse also the embedded fonts separately in order to create files for commercial purposes? I would be grateful if you could provide me a clear and concreate answer. I have been searching for a month to get a response and I haven't found it yet. Thank you very much for your precious help.

I will assume that by “fonts incorporated in Illustrator” you actually mean fonts that are installed by Adobe as part of the installation of Illustrator. My response also applies for any other fonts licensed from the Adobe Type Library directly from Adobe.
You may use and embed fonts using Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop PDF and EPS output file formats without any restriction. That includes embedding them in files that you license to others. You don't need to outline or rasterize the text to remain legal. In fact, outlining degrades output quality since you lose “intelligent scaling” provided by the font technology and font definitions with result of overly bold and blotchy looking text at low magnifications and resolutions. Rasterizing is even worse since the results are tied to a particular resolution.
What you may not do is to sell artwork in .AI (Illustrator), .INDD (InDesign), or any one of the Photoshop formats with layers preserving live text and include the fonts as separate files. (You obviously could distribute such source files without the fonts and point your customers to where to license them!)
Clearly, the best option in terms of output of your artwork and designs for resale would not outlining or rasterizing text and saving or exporting as PDF (either PDF/X-4 or High Quality Print options) maintaining color management and live transparency (if used).
- Dov
PS: This advice with regards to fonts may or may not apply to fonts sourced elsewhere. You must read the EULA (End User License Agreement) associated with the fonts you plan to license. Some may allow embedding but require royalties for the distributed PDF or EPS files that have the fonts embedded. Some prohibit outlining or treat outlining the same in terms of restrictions as embedding the font itself. And some have similar restrictions on rasterization. Check such terms before you license a font!!! Yes, you must read the licenses!

IOS 7 texting font color

Can you change the texting font from white to black in IOS 7?

I can understand the need for change and less clutter. In this case Apple completely lost it. Yes it's clean, so clean it's flat, toy like, childish looking UI. Difficult to read. The minimalist icons within the apps is so minimal you have to guess what it's suppose to represent! lol. So far 10 people I know regret this update. I'm sure I'll hear friends buying the iPhone this weekend and return them the next day. Yes it's that bad.
