Using italics within Htmltext with embedded fonts

hi there guys, I've been trying to use embedded fonts within my htmlText. However, it seems like it only shows the bold/normal fonts and it ignores the italics. The italics part of htmlText shows up as normal weight/ normal style font.
Here's what I am doing (am i doing anything wrong?):
I embed my fonts within a .css file:
@font-face {
 src: local("Verdana");
 fontFamily: myFontFamily;
 advancedAntiAliasing: true;
 fontWeight: bold;
 fontStyle: italic;
@font-face {
 src: local("Verdana");
 fontFamily: myFontFamily;
 advancedAntiAliasing: true;
 fontWeight: normal;
 fontStyle: italic;
@font-face {
 src: local("Verdana");
 fontFamily: myFontFamily;
 advancedAntiAliasing: true;
 fontWeight: normal;
 fontStyle: normal;
@font-face {
 src: local("Verdana");
 fontFamily: myFontFamily;
 advancedAntiAliasing: true;
 fontWeight: bold;
 fontStyle: normal;
Then i use it within this Text component:
<mx:Text width="100%" color="blue" fontFamily="myFontFamily" f>
 <mx:htmlText>
 <![CDATA[
 This text is 10 point black, italic, and bold.
 ]]>
 </mx:htmlText>
 </mx:Text>

Using duplicateMovie( ) on movieClips with embedded fonts

If I have a SWF with an embedded font, say all of Times New
Roman, and I use duplicateMovie( ) to make another copy of it at
runtime, is the Font Data duplicated as well, or is Flash smart
enough to just keep one copy of the font data ??
Thanks!

Anyone have any ideas on this? --

Textfield which accepts multilingual characters with embedded fonts

Hi all,
I have a textfield where I can paste text from different languages with device fonts. Now, I want to input multi-ligual text with embedded fonts.
I have embedded set of fonts, where I can input only english alphabets but not other languages.
Is there a way to input any language characters with embedded fonts?
Thank you.

Thanks for your reply.
I have embedded font as follows,
[Embed(source="myfont.ttf", fontName='myfont', mimeType='application/x-font',embedAsCFF="false")]
With this, I was able to apply this font for english.
I have tried to paste " मैं कौन हूँ? " on a textfield. But I have not shown मैं कौन हूँ? text.
And setting text programmatically did not work at all as
textField.text = "मैं कौन हूँ?";
If I do this with device fonts, every thing work fine but not with embedded fonts.
Is there any thing wrong with my code while embedding font?

Why a pdf document with embedded fonts can be copied but is not searchable in pdf reader

I am writing a pdf files with embedded subset fonts. As required, I am including the ToUnicode and CIDSet objects. To test, I created a simple PDF with two Hebrew characters. I can select the two characters and copy to the clipboard, and paste it properly into another application such as Word. But I am not able to search for a word containing these two characters. Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) displays the message that the word was not found. So in essence, I have created a PDF document which can be copied properly, but is not searchable. Any idea what I might be missing when creating the document?
Additional information: 1. The file in question is a minimal file with just two characters. I have tested with many such files in many different languages including English. None of the files are searchable. 2. Curiously, if I search for the letter 'e', Adobe reader highlights an incorrect word, even if the letter 'e' does not exists in the file. 3. Adobe acrobat is also not able to search within this file, however when I save the file to another disk file, the saved file now is searchable. I confirmed that the major objects such as the font-file, ToUnicode object, CID object, and the font description objects are the same in the saved file. However, one of the font object is brought up closer to the top of the file. 4. FoxIt is able to search these files properly.

I figured the app might have that ability - considering you can add text, highlight, add a signature, annotate and draw - so my thought was why not delete a page, or rearrange for that matter?.. That should be an option, this way we don't have to export to one of the other apps to delete or rearrange..
Thanks for the help, Bernd.
BTW if anyone is looking - PDF Max can do all of the above and delete and rearrange. With PDF Splicer you can delete and rearrange as well, but it has no other features.
And as for Steve Werner whose comment was deleted after it got to my inbox, it is much more than a Reader, as you can plainly see from the amount of tasks the Reader app can do above.

How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font. I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

Anna;
Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Help with embedding fonts in swf file

Hi, I am haviing a problem with my fonts displaying in my swf file. I created the flash site using CS4 on a mac. I thought the fonts were embedded but when I tested the swf in safari and firefox the fonts disappeared are all scrunched up in 1/2" on top of each other in several lines. Its a mess. It is displaying in times or some other font when viewed in on a pc browser.
What I did so far that did not work:
Made fonts static with animation
made fonts dynamic with animation
How can I fix this?
I am still a beginner using flash so the simpler the option the better.
Thanks!!!

there are quite a few ways you could mess this up but no one way that's typical.
create a new fla. click on the text tool, select static in the combobox and add a textfield to the stage. animate it. test it. any problems?
any other way (or ordering of steps) you use to create static text is prone to problems.

Problems with Embedded Font MS PGothic

Hello,
After editing a document in Japanese, some characters will not show up. Normally i would attribute this to a missing font pack, but after reinstalling the Japanese font pack on the computer, we strill get the error message:
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'RNUQGV+MSPGothic-WinCharSetFFFF-H'"
Some characters may not display or print correctly.
We create the file with MS Word, and in word we have no problems. It is only after using PDF-Server to create the files does this become a problem. Other Japanese fonts do no seem to have this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Placed PDF (with embedded fonts) reports fonts not available!

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why Illustrator CS (I know it's old) should report Fonts missing when the PDF I have placed has definately got the fonts embedded.
The PDF was made in InDesign CS4 using the default [High Quality Print] setting. If I look at the properties of the created PDF it lists all the fonts as being embedded subsets.
I know I can get around this by outlining the text but I shouldn't have to.
Thanks
Simon Kemp

So, Illustrator will always require the fonts present and will disregard any embedded fonts?
That's pretty much it. Remember: Illustrator is not a PDF viewing program. It wants to let you edit the document. PDF is essentially a document exchange format and not really intended for editable content (beyond the extent Acrobat enables). Font designers want you to buy their products if you're going to be doing anything other than reading the text.
The link-place-flatten trick is good to have in your bag of tricks, but I am not alone in recommending you do not blindly outline all type. Aside from making it nearly impossible for an output service provider to make a possibly necessary last-minute correction, you will not get the proper hinting with very small type. Moreover, if you're dealing with a large amount of text, you'll end up with huge files.

Reader V8 problem with embedded font

Hello,
I'm having problems opening in Reader V8 the PDF file located at http://www.itech.ca/otf-cff.pdf . The file opens correctly in previous versions of acrobat. AR 4 5 6 7. It complains about the embedded font. Can anyone help me identify the reason why the font cannot be extracted ? Is there anything wrong in the PDF file when describing the font, or it's the way I'm generating the embedded font ? Is there any tool I can use to help me debug this ? Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
rabih

Rabih,
Please repost in the Reader forum. This forum is for pdf specification
issues. Usually, the problems you are having are due to each successive
version of Acrobat adhering to standards more strictly. A pdf with a
problemsome font Acrobat or Reader might have tried to render the pdf
and hope for the best. Now it may reject the pdf.

Problems with embedded font with medium or heavy weight

Hey guys,
I'm switching a current Project from Flashbuilder Beta2 to the Flashbuilder final release.
I have a big problem concerning embedded fonts. The fonts I have to use are Futura Com Medium & Futura Com Heavy.
Here's some of my code:
@font-face
     src:                        url("assets/fonts/FuturaCom-Medium.ttf");
     font-weight:               normal;
     fontFamily:                 myFuturaMedium;
     advancedAntiAliasing:       true;
     embedAsCff:                 false;
.myDatagrid{
     fontFamily: myFuturaMedium;
     color: #ff0000;
this worked well in beta2, but I'm not able to get the embedded Font working in the datagrid with the Flashbuilder final release.
Any help on using embedded fonts in a mx|Datagrid is highly aprechiated.

Problems with embedded font on spark RichText control

« Hide
I have an embedded font that appears correctly when used with Halo components, but when associated with the spark RichText component, it is not recognized.
The embedded font is defined in css file, my css file
@namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
@namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts.swf");
fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue";
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts.swf");
fontFamily:"Helvetica Neue";
fontWeight: bold;
global{
color:#333333;
fontFamily: "Helvetica Neue";
fontSize:12px;
The embedded font it used in the following manner:
<mx:Label styleName="panelTitle" text="Hello There" width="263" x="21" y="11"/>
<s:Group width="410" x="38" y="52" height="50">
<s:RichText styleName="panelTitle" text="Hello There" fontFamily="Helvetica Neue" width="263" x="21" y="11"/>
</s:Group>
The Label shows the embedded font correctly while the RichText control does not. It does not matter if the fontFamily is specified explicitly on the control or not.
I created a bug SDK-22137, but since I'd need to get this working soon any help would be appreciated.

Just a friendly reminder. Many of the examples on that site are fairly old and havent been updated to use the latest APIs. For example, "cff" has recently been renamed to "embedAsCFF". In fact, here's a better example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 <s:VerticalLayout paddingLeft="20" paddingTop="20" />
 </s:layout>
 <fx:Style>
 @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
 @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
 /* DefineFont3 (embedAsCFF == false) */
 @font-face {

 fontFamily: embGeorgia;
 fontWeight: normal;
 embedAsCFF: false;
 @font-face {
 src: url("assets/georgiab.TTF");
 fontFamily: embGeorgia;
 fontWeight: bold;
 embedAsCFF: false;
 /* DefineFont4 (embedAsCFF == true) */
 @font-face {
 src: url("assets/georgia.TTF");
 fontFamily: embGeorgiaCFF;
 fontWeight: normal;
 embedAsCFF: true;
 @font-face {
 src: url("assets/georgiab.TTF");
 fontFamily: embGeorgiaCFF;
 fontWeight: bold;
 embedAsCFF: true;
 mx|Label {
 fontFamily: embGeorgia;
 s|RichText {
 fontFamily: embGeorgiaCFF;
 fontLookup: embeddedCFF;
 </fx:Style>
 <mx:Label text="Halo Label" />
 <mx:Label text="Halo Label (bold)" fontWeight="bold" />
 <s:RichText text="Spark RichText" />
 <s:RichText text="Spark RichText (bold)" fontWeight="bold" />
</s:Application>
Also, depending on what you're trying to do, this may help you: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/06/14/using-a-cff-embedded-font-with-a-halo-label-contro l-in-flex-4/. Basically, you can set the textFieldClass style on certain Halo controls and have them use the mx.core.UITLFTextFieldClass (instead of the default mx.core.UITextFieldClass) so they can take advantage of the new CFF fonts.
In fact, here's the same example as above, but with the single embedded font:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
 xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

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.

Problem with embedded font on offset printing

Hello,
I generated a leaflet with InDesign CS5. I exported it as PDF/x-3:2002. In the document, I used quote signs (American Typewriter Light font). When I export the PDF, everything goes well, and when I check in Acrobat, the font seems correctly embedded. However, when I picked up the leaflets at the printing house today (it's an offset printing), all the quotation marks were not printed (squares instead). Where does the problem come from?? Did the printing people did a mistake and what mistake? Or is it me?
Thanks for your help!!

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to respond to this thread up until now, but having reviewed this full thread, I have a few comments to offer:
It is irrelevant whether the original text was copied and pasted or whether the font was Type 1, TrueType, a TrueType collection, OpenType CFF, etc. The real issue is whether the PDF/X-3:2002 file exported from InDesign is indeed valid. This can very easily be verified by running the appropriate preflight profile for PDF/X-3:2002 in Acrobat Pro 10 or 11. There is no need for any third party plug-ins or any other software for this.
Assuming that preflight pronounces the file to be 100% kosher with no exceptions and that the file displays properly in Acrobat Pro, you should then try printing the file (or even just the pages that exhibited the problem) from Acrobat Pro to a printer that supports Adobe PostScript 3.
If the printed output from the PostScript printer is correct as well, the problem lies totally with your print service provider and their workflow.
In our extensive experience, problems can occur in any number of ways. One of most frequent sources of problems are printers who routinely open PDF files in Adobe Illustrator to view and “fix” them, somehow thinking that Adobe Illustrator is a general purpose PDF editor. For the record, Adobe Illustrator is not, repeat not, repeat yet again not a general purpose PDF file editor. Adobe Illustrator can only successfully edit PDF files saved from Adobe Illustrator itself when the “save editability” option is specified. Even then, Illustrator requires you to have all fonts referenced by the PDF file actually installed on your system; it does not use any fonts embedded in the PDF file. For other PDF files (such as those produced by Distiller, export from InDesign, etc.), character substitutions (especially for non-ASCII characters such as typographical quotes), font substitutions, color space changes, etc. are common issues.
If the printer is not abusing Illustrator on your InDesign-exported files, it could be any number of third party products that many printers use, some of which are of dubious value and some of which may be either defective in terms of compliance with the PDF specification or simply grossly out-of-date. (It is amazing how many print service providers put their customers' submitted PDF files through all sorts of “fixup” processes, regardless of whether the files need such fixups or not. Many of these “fixups” are more likely to cause problems than they are to fix anything!)
Under no conditions should you need to fully embed fonts in your PDF files. Certainly no Adobe software, including applications, Acrobat, and our PostScript and PDF RIP technologies licensed to OEMs is any way sensitive to whether fonts are subsetted or not! If a third party workflow component is so-sensitive, it is by definitiion defective.
In terms of imposition, there should likewise be no sensitivity to whether fonts are subsetted or not. By the way, the most reliable imposition is actually done at the RIP itself, not by programs that either place PDF files into other documents and regenerate PDF or by utilities that rearrange PDF files or create new PDF files representing the printed flats.
This thread also discussed the issue of whether the OP received a “proof.” Unless you receive a hard copy proof in which the content was put through the exact same workflow as the final product, including RIP and all prepress steps, it is very possible that the defect noted would not show up on the proof. Nonetheless, obtaining a hard copy proof is an excellent idea, especially if the issue comes up about liability for the cost of reprinting the job or even whether the original job should be paid for if the print service provider can't “fix” their workflow problems!

Problems in CS3 and AS3 with embedded fonts

Hi. I recently downloaded the trial version of CS3 to test it
out. I'm an experience AS2 developper, and have 10 years of C, C++,
C#, Java, PHP ... programming experience on BIG projects before
starting flash.
I have been trying to use an embedded font in AS3 with a
dynamically created textfield. I've tried all the examples in
O'Reilly's ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook. They suggest using the
[Embed] meta tag, but quite honestly it does nothing in CS3. I had
the Size Report option selected, and it shows clearly by the file
size the font isn't present in the SWF.
Then I tried doing it the way I did in Flash 8. Again there
no luck. My TextField exists, but there is simple no font being
rendered.. Here is my bit of code.
In my library I have a symbol called arialBold. In the
linkage settings, I have "Export for ActionScript" checked, and
"Export in first frame" checked. The class is "arialBold" but I
wonder if that's right? and the Base class is "flash.text.Font"
I tried every variation I could think of. I must be doing
something wrong. You can find my file here :
http://www.newcommerce.ca/as3/fonttest.fla
Thanks for your help! If you can fix this, i'll be very
happy!

this code works
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tfor.font = new _TrebushetMS().fontName;
tfor.italic = true;
tf.width = 300;
tf.height = 200;
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.border = true;
tf.defaultTextFormat = tfor ;
tf.text = "this is a test";
this.addChild(tf);
This code does not work
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tfor.font = new _TrebushetMS().fontName;
tfor.italic = true;
tf.width = 300;
tf.height = 200;
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.border = true;
tf.setTextFormat(tfor) ;
tf.text = "this is a test";
this.addChild(tf);
i don't know why

Problem with embedding fonts in Illustrator CS5

I have just installed Illustrator CS5, and have tested creating a PDF document based on one of my existing files, as well as a new file.
When I open these PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I am told that Acrobat cannot access one of the embedded fonts (Korinna BT).
I have had no issues with embedding this font in Illustrator CS4, and (strangely), when I open these files in other PDF viewers (Preview and PDFPenPro), they report no issues.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I have removed and reinstalled the font in question, and tested/verified that the font is OK - but still not joy.
Regards
Jeremy

The error message I get is:
"Cannot extract the embedded font 'MVZTIW+KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
When I check the fonts in the PDF in "Document Properties" in Adobe Acrobat the following is shown:
"KorinnaITCbyBT-Regular
     Type: TrueType
     Encoding: Ansi
     Actual Font: Adobe Serif MM
     Actual Font Type: Type 1"
It seems that Illustrator is adding some strange "code" ('MVZTIW') to the beginning of the font, which means the actual font can't be found and extracted.
