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.

Text without a font

how can i write text without a font?

bison, you cannot type without a font but as the others suggested you can write or draw what you want with any of the tools that can create shapes of the font in your mind.
Another approach to save time is to select a font that is similar to the font in your mind and then modify it.
It is also possible to create your own font with a font creation program, so you can type with it.

How to have rotated axis labels in charts without embedding fonts?

Hi all,
I am trying to have slant/rotated axis labels in flex charts to avoid clutter in cases of large number of sample points. It was fairly easy to do this using 'labelRotation' method in AxisRenderer but this involved embedding fonts [ causes my swf to increase in size by atleast a 100KB which in my case is very high ]. My question is.. Can this be done without embedding the fonts? Maybe with the use of labelRenderer? Any alternatives that would solve the purpose without increase in swf size are also most appreciated as I ve been struggling with this for quiet a while.
Thanks a ton,
Siva

Please check LabVIEW\Examples\picture\demos.llb\polar plot demo.vi
But it has no zooming and cursors.
Maybe you can modify that example and use XY plot instead of picture control. I mean for each function plot on the picture, you generate another function to replace it and generate XY data pairs.

How to export PDF without embedded fonts?

Hi,
I'm using CrystalReports with VS2008. I export a report in this way:
rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, filename);
This works fine except it includes the used fonts. A older version of our export tool used Delphi and the vcl component which did not include the fonts. Including the fonts increase the pdf filesize in my case from 21kb to 70kb. Sounds less but the export creates around 1500 pdf on one day.
Is there a way to export to pdf without embedding the fonts?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
No, and it's not all just embedded fonts. After CR 8.5 we converted everything to be UNICODE compliant. So as of CR 9 the size of the files, Printing as well as exporting, increased due to the unicode feature. All characters and bits of the files are now double byte in length with the resulting output being typically 4 or 5 times greater in size ( just a guess ).
Only option would be to export as usual through CR and then use PDF API's to remove the fonts from the output file and resave the PDF.
Thank you
Don

Correct dimensions for a text with embedded font

Can someone please tell me how can I find the width, height and lineHeight for a text that is inside a RichEditableText component if I'm useing embedded fonts as cff?
I have a font that has big loops on letters like f,j,g. I
tried to get the infos from the richEditableText and richEditableText.textFlow. I even tried to compute the height of the text line by line with textFlow.flowComposer.getLineAt(i).height. But none of this got me a value big enought to cover the loops too.

Might be an issue with the font. Try checking each of the children in the RichEditableText. Some of them should be TextLines. See what they report.

Dynamic text and embedded font

Hi,
I'm new to Flash and AS3, and I'm having a problem when I do
the following: I create an empty dynamic text field in the
authoring environment, click "Embed...", and choose the character
sets that I want (I get the same results when I embed the entire
font). The first time I change the contents of the text field with
the command:
text_field.text = "string 1";
I get good results--the text appears in the correct font.
However, subsequent attempts to update the .text property fail with
no error message, and the field becomes blank.
If I remove the embedded font by clicking "Don't embed" in
the embedding dialog, then every time I update the field's .text
property, it displays correctly using a local machine font.
I've also tried embedding the font in the swf by creating a
dynamic text field in the authoring environment, into which I place
no text, creating a second, functional text field in actionscript,
formatting it, using the "embed = true" property, and repeatedly
updating the .text property with the same bad results as described
above.
I haven't tried using the [embed] metatag to dynamically load
the font.
I've tested the swf in IE7 and Firefox on two machines with
the same results. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dave

Okay, here's more information. The font that I've been trying
to embed is Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. If I embed a different font,
like Bitstream Vera Sans, I have no problem. It seems to me that it
must be that my Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is corrupted, my .fla and
.swf files are corrupted, or there's a bug in flash...

Can I add some UTF-16 characters(4 bytes, like japanese character) in to PDF,without embedding fonts

Hi all,
I have some 4 bytes japanese characters, when I embedding the MSPMincho fonts to PDF file, the characters displays well, but can it works without embedding this fonts?
Thanks and Regards

Try this (not tested):
import oracle.sql.CharacterSet;
CharacterSet csDB=CharacterSet.make(CharacterSet.ZHS32GB18030);
int byteLenDB = csDB.convert("your string").length;
Note, ZHS32GB18030 is currently supported as the client character set only. You should better not define a database with this character set. (See: Database Globalization Support Guide, Table A-9). It looks like we have to clarify this, because DBCA lists ZHS32GB18030 and CREATE DATABASE accepts it.
The DB character set does not seem to be available through any public API (though it is retrieved and stored internally). You have to query the database.

Embedded Fonts, how to use in all controls?

When I embed either external fonts or system fonts they work
great for say the label control but not for others such as the
progressBar, on top of this any control that wont use an embedded
font cant be used in conjunction with an alpha related effect as
the font will be 100% alpha the entire time. Whats the deal with
some controls not using the specified embedded font?

Hi again....
I must ask again..because I dont think I understand completly how to get speedfan to work in my other profil...( User).
I installed speed fan as admin and configured it proper according to this forum.....
It seems to work just fine.......
Before I logout and switch user I make sure that speedfan is not running and that there is nothing in its autostart.
I then logout and switch to the other profil.......there I put an speedfan-ikon on its desk....
When I try to launch speedfan in this profil I get a warning:
UNABLE TO SAVE TO C:\program\speedfan\speedfanparams.cfg
It seems that I only can run speedfan as admin......
Am sorry to bother u guys again...but u seem to be wise in this matter.....
I want to be able to run the computer in this other profil, not in admin.
In this other profil I would like to have speedfan running and showing me the temps of the computer.....
As I understand its the most secure way to run computers......
Best regards
Mr W

Print PDF without embedded fonts (for USPTO)

I need to print PDFs that can be uploaded to the US PTO, and for them to be compatible they must not have any embedded fonts. I am using the Acrobat XI Distiller with the configuration file downloaded directly from the PTO website http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/portal/efs/uspto.joboptions, but the fonts are still being embedded. Is there any way to get the PDF distiller to not embed any fonts?

The .joboptions file that your posting points to very specifically requests that all fonts be embedded, subsetted!!!
Thus, if you are using these joboptions to produce PDF, you are getting exactly what the joboptions call for.
If someplace on the US Patent and Trademark Office website is telling you to not embed fonts and then provides these joboptions, then they are giving you conflicting information!
However, searching that website, I found instructions for PDF file creation such as at <EFS-Web PDF Guidelines> and the attached PDF file from the website.
In fact, the US Patent and Trademark Office absolutely requires that you embed all fonts.

How to create PDF without embedded fonts from Indesign

Can anyone tell me how to create from Indesign a PDF that certainly does not contain any fonts I don't want to include? But that would appear in the same layout in a substituted font, including italics and small caps?

You can't, InDesign will embed the fonts for you.
To unembed fonts you need Acrobat Professional. Go to Tools>Print Production>Pdf Optimiser
go to Fonts
And select the fonts to unembed.
You could select any text and change the Transparency to 99.9%.
Then in Edit>Transparency Flattener make a new one using High as a base for the new
Select Convert Text to Outlines.
When you Export to pdf, choose Adobe PDF 1.3, and go to Flattening, choose the new Flattener Preset that you just made.
And when you export it, any text forced through the Flattener will be converted to outlines. (this could violate the terms of the Font Licencing.)

How can I get Acrobat form cells to autofit text without shrinking font?

Hi,
I've been trying to get textfields to auto expand in acrobat 10 without shrinking the font. In addition, I need all content in the cell to be visable when the form is printed.
Any easy solutions?
Thanks

So I cant perform 'positioned subforms' or dynamic positioning in Acrobat 10 standard?

Rotateing text without reformating

Hi every one,
This a real basic question but for the life of me I cant remember how it's done. I need too rotate some text in AI cs5 but I dont want the text to reformat. Do I have to use the type on a path tool? If I am not mistaken there is a setting I can change or a modifier key I can push to keep the type from reflowing. Just to be clear I am trying to have type with it's basline on a vertical axis insted of horizontal. Does any one have any insight in to how this is done?

You can also do ths by dragging with both the rotate and free transform tools yyou start to drag and then hold the shift ky down to restrain the rotation to 90º
You can use the Object>Transform>Rotate as well and you can use the Effect>Distort and Transform>Transform and enter 90º for the angle
You can also use the Transform Panel and enter 90º
Most people I think use the rotate tool

Rotate text without rotating text field

The rotation for the field is based on the orientation of the field with respect tot the rotated page. You can use the form field's properties to rotate the contents of any field counterclockwise by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. I would first try 90 degrees.

Rotating text label with complex fonts (arabic)

i got the next problem:
rotating dynamically created TextField with any angle (using
embedded fonts of course). if i use standard fonts, latin sybmols -
everything works excellent. but if i use arabic fonts - text labels
behave very strange - complex arabic symbols are not shown.
for example, 2 symbols "lj" give 1 complex arabian symbol to
show. but when using in rotating mode with embedded fonts those
"lj" are just shown separately, not as one.
did anyone have such experience? how this could be solved?
maybe the same behavior with japan?
thanks in advance
p.s. i used different modes and arabic fonts. everything
works fine in usual way until the text label starts being
rotated...

shimontornia,
> I'm trying to rotate a dynamic text field that is using

> Any ideas ?
The only idea possible is to omit one of those
characteristics: either
the text field must not be rotated, or it must not use a
system font.
