Set font on a text

Hi!
I've got some problem with setting font on a text, this is my coed:
var ar_delaney_e:Font = new ar_delaney();
textcount=1;
//Setting a variable to ar_delaney_e
this["font_"+String(textcount)] = "ar_delaney_e";
//Create a textFormat
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
//Setting font textformat fon to ar_delaney_e??
textFormat.font = this["font_"+String(textcount)];
//Set textformat to my text
myText.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
Fon is embedded hav also tried textFormat.font = this["font_"+String(textcount)].fontName; instead of textFormat.font = this["font_"+String(textcount)]; but no one of this will work, how can you fix this?

On stage I got a button with instance name add_text_btn, and a mc called "knapp_bild". So when pressing add_text_btn the function func_add_text_btn creates a movie clip with a text in it and also variables for size, color and font for the text. the two variables size and color works fine.
add_text_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, func_add_text_btn);
function func_add_text_btn(event:MouseEvent):void{
textcount++;
var MovieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
MovieClip.x = 80;
MovieClip.y = 60;
MovieClip.alpha = 1;
MovieClip.name="mc_text"+String(textcount);
//Variables for font, size and color
this["size_"+String(textcount)] = 40;
this["color_"+String(textcount)] = "0x00CC00";
this["font_"+String(textcount)] = "ar_delaney_e";
textFormat.font = this["font_"+String(textcount)].fontName;
textFormat.size = this["size_"+String(textcount)];
textFormat.color = this["color_"+String(textcount)];
var textField:TextField = new TextField()
textField.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
textField.autoSize="left";
textField.text = 'Text '+String(textcount);
textField.name = "text"+String(textcount); // give them names
textField.background=false;
textField.embedFonts=true;
var mc_name=String("mc_text"+String(textcount));
knapp_bild.addChild(MovieClip);
MovieClip.addChild(textField);
textField.mouseEnabled=false;
MovieClip.width=textField.width;
Later on in the program this["font_"+String(textcount)] will change but it dosen't work in the func_add_text_btn function now so let's just try to fix that first. Hope you can see something that mabe won't work and just ask if you got any qusetion. Thanks for your help!

Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

Dear All,
Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
End If
p_DDoc.Close
End If
'Close the PDF
p_VDoc.Close True
p_AcroApp.Exit
'Clear Variables
Set p_DDoc = Nothing
Set p_VDoc = Nothing
Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
End Sub
What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

Is there any easy & simple way to set specify font to all text

Is there any way to set a specific font to all text of Swing controls (JLabel, JButton, etc)? And their font's style (bold, underscore...) and font's size still remain to their customized settings.
Thanks in advance.
null

perhaps you're just after deriveFont()
run this, you'll see both fonts the same
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Testing
public void buildGUI()
    JLabel label_1 = new JLabel("Hello");
    JLabel label_2 = new JLabel("World");
    label_1.setFont(new Font("monospaced",Font.BOLD|Font.ITALIC,12));
    label_2.setFont(label_1.getFont());
    //label_1.setFont(label_1.getFont().deriveFont(36f));//<----------
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getContentPane().add(label_1,BorderLayout.NORTH);
    f.getContentPane().add(label_2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    f.pack();
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new Testing().buildGUI();
}now uncomment the indicated line, recompile/rerun
you'll see the style remains, but the size increased

How do I change fonts in a Text field ??

Okay I've tried to implement a JComboBox that allows the user to change fonts in the text field. So far I've tried different methods to do it but to no avail. Could somebodoy here read the programs source code for me and tell me where I went wrong?

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.
(OSX 10.10)

Hi,
As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

I created a pdf form from a Word doc with 9 pt aerial font formatting; the text on the pdf form is aerial 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - How do I reformat the font in the fields??

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

Setting Font Color and Bold Property in ALV Grid

How do I make mail readable, text barely readable on screen when set to 12 point text.

Is there a way to increase the size of the displayed mail, as you are creating it?
I have mine set to 12 point text, but it is still difficult to read. The e-mail when received is fine, it's the creating that's "tiny"
Thanks
Mike

I use "screen zoom" (control + scroll up/down) often when creating these responses. Or for anything else where I do not want to change the number of open winodws.
You can also write the message in 16 pt font and "select all" to make it 12-point before sending.

Setting fonts in reports.

Using labview V6.1 and Windows 2000.
I am using the Append front panel image to report.vi to attach a panel image to a report. I would like to set the font of the text that is in this image, but the set report font.vi does nothing for this neither does setting the font in the vi I wish to append.
any ideas?

send you code please i will try to do it

Bullet Using Different Font than Body Text

I would like to have a bullet that uses a different font than the body text. Say, for text I use Verdana, and for the bullet I would like to use a glyph from Zapf Dingbats. I seem to not be able to figure out how to set this up -- the bullet always uses the same font as the text.
Thanks for your help.
-- Stefan

If you Option-Click on the bullet character, you can select it on its own, separate from the body text. You can then apply whatever font you want, and in the Text Inspector, in the Bullets palette, you can type whatever character you want in the Text Bullets field. (If you want this character for all of your bullets, it would be easiest to do this editing on the slide masters, rather than the individual slides.)

Set font size based on component size

Hi everybody,
This is kind of a duplicate, kind of new, because my original post is buried and I figured out a more helpful and general way to ask this question. Does anyone know if there is a way to set the size of a string as large as possible on a component, but still be able to have the whole string visible, if you're using a font other than default?
For example:
public static void main( String args[] ){
try {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame( "Title" );
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          int guiWidth = width / 2;
          int guiHeight = height / 2;
          frame.setSize( guiWidth, guiHeight );
          Container pane = frame.getContentPane();
          // Create main label
          String labelString = "Test";
          JLabel label = new JLabel( labelString );
          label.setBackground( new Color( 179, 0, 0 ) );
          label.setForeground( new Color( 235, 191, 16 ) );
          label.setHorizontalAlignment( CENTER );
          label.setOpaque( true );

} catch( Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
     }As you can see, right now the font needs to be hard coded. I'd like it to be dynamic, based on the size of the screen the user has.
Sorry if the partial double post annoys anybody; I figured it would be less annoying than resurrecting my old post.
Any help on this would be great, and thank you!

Setting font and color TextItems

This script is failing to set font, and how can I set font color?; I am new to PS Scripting:
     var originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits
      preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES
     var docRef = app.documents.add( 11, 17, 300, "Test", NewDocumentMode.CMYK)
    MyLayer = docRef.artLayers.add()
     MyLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
     var myFont = app.fonts.getByName("ArialMT");
     // Set the contents of the text layer.
     var textItemRef = MyLayer.textItem
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     textItemRef.size = UnitValue(36, 'pt');
     textItemRef.font = '_Aviano-Regular';
     textItemRef.style = "Italic";
     textItemRef.contents = "Sample Text";
     // Restore original ruler unit setting
      app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit
Thanks

The font needs to be the postscript name, this will give you a list of them.
var Dlog =
"dialog{text:'Script Interface',bounds:[100,100,500,270],"+
"FontName:DropDownList{bounds:[30,40,370,60]},"+
"PostScriptName:DropDownList{bounds:[30,100,370,120]},"+
"statictext0:StaticText{bounds:[40,10,200,30] , text:'Font Name'},"+
"statictext1:StaticText{bounds:[40,70,141,87] , text:'Postscript Name'},"+
"button0:Button{bounds:[140,130,240,150] , text:'Ok' }}";
win = new Window(Dlog,"Use the Postscript Name in your script.");
var item;
var item2;
for (var i=0,len=app.fonts.length;i<len;i++) {
item = win.FontName.add ('item', "" + app.fonts[i].name);
item2 = win.PostScriptName.add ('item', "" + app.fonts[i].postScriptName);
win.FontName.selection = win.FontName.items[0] ;
win.PostScriptName.selection = win.PostScriptName.items[0] ;
win.FontName.onChange = function() {
win.PostScriptName.selection = win.PostScriptName.items[parseInt(this.selection)] ;
$.writeln(win.PostScriptName.items[parseInt(this.selection)]);
win.PostScriptName.onChange = function() {
win.FontName.selection = win.FontName.items[parseInt(this.selection)] ;
win.center();
win.show();
Here is your code with colour addded...
     var originalUnit = preferences.rulerUnits
      preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES
      var FillColor = new SolidColor;
    FillColor.rgb.hexValue = 'ff0000';
     var docRef = app.documents.add( 11, 17, 300, "Test", NewDocumentMode.CMYK)
    MyLayer = docRef.artLayers.add()
     MyLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
     var myFont = "ArialMT";
     // Set the contents of the text layer.
     var textItemRef = MyLayer.textItem
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     textItemRef.size = UnitValue(36, 'pt');
     textItemRef.font = myFont;
     //textItemRef.style = "Italic";
     textItemRef.fauxItalic = true;
     textItemRef.contents = "Sample Text";
     textItemRef.color = FillColor;
     // Restore original ruler unit setting
      app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit

Splitting of text fields when using multiple fonts within a text field and exporting it to XFL.

Hi All,
I have been trying out InDesign and exported files to XFL for use in Flash. If I use a single font for a text box then everything looks fine in flash, but if I use multiple fonts for the same text box its split into multiple text boxes. For making this more clear I have attached an image.
Any help to resolve this!!!

Paragraph styles are tied to the paragraph, not the page.
You don't say which version you are using, but here's something you could try in CS3 or CS4. Set up a baseline grid in the preferences to match the main pages. The spacing should match the leading of the body text. Make a special paragraph style (you can base it on the body text style) that you will apply to text onthe chapter start page, and as part of that style set it to align to baseline grid. Now for the trick. Select the text frame onthe start page and define a custom baseline grid with the spacing you want. Save it as an object style, too, while you're at it. The strating text should align to the custom grid on the start page and the documetn grid on the next page.

Unable to apply embedded font swf to text in text layout framework

Hello,
We have created a swf for a given font (for e.g., Calibri.swf) which contains all the styles (Regular, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic).
We have created a xml which lists the name of the font and the corresponding swf file path. The names from the xml are loaded into a combo box in the application.
When we try to apply the selected font to a text in the text layout framework, it does not apply the same. It sets the font to default "Times" font.
Following is a snippet of code to apply the font to the text:
private function selectFont(fontXML:XML):void {
                var path:String = fontXML.@source;
                var myEvent:IEventDispatcher = styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.url.substring(0,FlexGl obals.topLevelApplication.url.lastIndexOf("/"))+"/"+path);
                myEvent.addEventListener(StyleEvent.COMPLETE, function(event:StyleEvent):void{
                    var editManager:EditManager = textFlow.interactionManager as EditManager;
                    var itextLayout:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
                    itextLayout.fontSize = 20;
                    var fontName:String = fontXML.@name;
                    Alert.show(fontName);
                    itextLayout.fontFamily = fontName;
                    Alert.show( "itext = " + itextLayout.fontFamily);
                    editManager.applyFormat(itextLayout,itextLayout,itextLayout);
                    var flowLeafElement:FlowElement = textFlow.findLeaf(editManager.anchorPosition) as FlowElement;
                    editManager.changeStyleName(fontName,flowLeafElement);
Can anyone please let us know what is missing in the implementation?
Thanks in advance.

My recommendation: unless you really care about ISWFContext implementations and the application domain issues, ignore Alex's post about embedded fonts.
It is a nice discussion about the inner workings of the domain and security of how this works but it is imho broken and is an insane concept to require an ISWFContext to just use an embedded font. It also breaks runtime CSS loading that has fonts embedded in it because the Flex compiler (last I checked) was also busted – it doesn't include the function necessary to create within context the font embed so that it may be applied. You can't create an ISWFContext with a compiled CSS file.
These issues were introduced in the last Flex SDK beta before FB4 was released in final form. There are multiple bugs logged against the issue of applying loaded font files to TLF text (in short, SWFContext is broken and you have to override GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction to return embedded or null, all the time).
Here's some more details to get you started - with links to at least one of the SDK bugs that were filed:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2656152
For example:
import flashx.textLayout.elements.GlobalSettings;
import flash.text.engine.FontLookup;
GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = function makeValid():String { return FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF };
And you may need to do this after your font is loaded:
yourTextBlock.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
Disclaimer: I haven't seen the latest Flex SDK release to see if this was fixed. I have an AIR application with native process that builds embedded font SWF files for use and stub code for FB4 usage but haven't updated to the latest SDK yet to see if it's working properly.
Anyhow, your best bet is to look at the Flash Builder forums. I think this is/was a Flex team issue, not TLF.
