Euro ? symbol for embeded fonts

[marcbc]

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the Euro sign in an application, to render some data in
Labels formatted with a CurrencyFormatter for which I specify '?' as
currencySymbol.

The symbol is displayed when no style is used for the Label, but when I assign
an style with a fontFamily specified, that is a Verdana I embed using a
@font-face, the symbol doesn't show up.

If I do not specify the unicode range, all symbols should be embedded with the
font, don't?

This code works for me. Are you embedding your font differently?


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Style>
.mystyle1 {
fontFamily:myVerdana1;
fontSize: 20pt;
}
</mx:Style>
<mx:Script>
[Embed(source='verdana.ttf',
fontName='myVerdana1',
mimeType='application/x-font'
)]
private var font1:Class;
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="? 400"/>
<mx:Label styleName="mystyle1" text="? 500"/>
</mx:Application>

Hi Greg, thanks for answering.
I'm using "font-face" to embed the font, specifying a system font (I'm in Mac,
with Leopard). Do you think it is correct?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src: local("Arial");
fontFamily: mainFont;
}

.mystyle1 {
fontFamily:mainFont;
fontSize: 20pt;
}
</mx:Style>
<mx:Script>

</mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="? 400"/>
<mx:Label styleName="mystyle1" text="? 500"/>
</mx:Application>

Both Euro symbols display for me on Windows. I don't have a Mac nearby. Could be a Mac only issue.

Ouch!
anyone experienced this in a Mac?
