Problem embedding fonts

[CesareRocchi]

Hi,

I followed step by step instruction on font embedding. I use this in my CSS.

@font-face {
src: url("copacetix.ttf");
fontFamily: myFont;
}

I try to apply this font to each button like this (in CSS):

Button{
fontFamily: myFont;
}

but my button gets displayed with "Times New Roman".

Any hint?

-c.

CesareRocchi,

Two options:
1) Embed the bold font face as well (Button labels are bold by default)
2) Set the Button label's fontWeight style to normal)

Something like:
a)
@font-face {
src: url("copacetix.ttf");
fontFamily: myFont;
fontWeight: bold;
}

or
b)
Button{
fontFamily: myFont;
fontWeight: normal;
}

Hope that helps,
Peter

tried both. no way. my buttons are without label and my linkbar shows just '-' separators.

How about this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src: url("copacetix.ttf");
fontFamily: myFont;
}

Button{
fontFamily: myFont;
fontWeight: normal;
fontSize: 18;
}

Label {
fontFamily: myFont;
fontSize: 18;
}
</mx:Style>

<mx:Label text="Copacetix" />
<mx:Button label="Copa! regular" />

</mx:Application>

Hi,
I may have a related problem on font embedding

I reduced my code to the attached test.
In this font Futura applies on the label and button. The linkbar items
disappears
If I comment CSS Button definition, linkBar items are visible but font Futura
is not applied on them, as it is applied correctly on the independant Label.
After all test, I couldn't have my embedded font applied to the LinkBar. I'm
missing something ?

Would appreciate a LOT any help on this. I'm lost :)

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:Style>
LinkBar{
embedFonts: true;
fontFamily: Futura;
fontWeight: normal;
fontSize:14;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
Label {
fontFamily: Futura;
fontSize:14;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
Button{
fontFamily: Futura;
fontSize:12;
fontWeight: normal;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
@font-face {
src:url("assets/Fu.ttf");
fontWeight: normal;
fontFamily: Futura;
}
</mx:Style>
<mx:VBox>
<mx:LinkBar textAlign="right" direction="vertical" separatorWidth="0"
dataProvider="{dp}"
alpha="0.0" width="100%" horizontalAlign="right" >
</mx:LinkBar>
<mx:Label text="font test three - working">

</mx:Label>
<mx:Button label="button font test">

</mx:Button>
</mx:VBox>

<mx:Array id="dp">
<mx:Object label="font test one - not ok"/>
<mx:Object label="test font two - not ok"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:Application>

I solved. I forgot to specify which glyphs to embed. now it is working, though
I has some problems with Candara font, which froze the Flex builder. Then I
changed to another font, and everything went fine.
