rhodesbe,
I tried a similar CFF embedding test in Flex Builder 3.0.2
with Flash Player 9.x and got the similar warning ("transcoding
parameter 'cff' is not supported by
'flex2.compiler.media.FontTranscoder").
I was actually playing around with this a week ago and hit
this roadblock as well. I asked around on the Flash Authoring team
and got this pointer:
quote:
The new embed functionality is in mxmlc.jar. You could try
replacing the mxmlc.jar installed with Flash CS4 with a more recent
version, but i’m not very optimistic that would work very
well (definitely don’t delete the old copy). The dependencies
between flash and mxmlc are many and complex, and they have likely
been broken in new versions.
I tried replacing my mxmlc.jar file in Flash CS4 with a
recent nightly build of Flex Gumbo SDK and had less than stellar
results:
quote:
"Error initializing Java Runtime Environment. You may need to
reinstall Flash."
The only other suggestion given to me was:
quote:
You could create a swc file using a new version of
flexbuilder with the new embed stuff available in gumbo (defining
ArialEmbeddedFont), and then put the swc in the library path for
your FLA and access the ArialEmbeddedFont that way. I think that
would work fine, since flexbuilder would handle the [Embed]. The
only issue would be if the flash swc linker doesn’t handle
definefont4 correctly, but i think we tested that.
I haven't had a chance to experiment with that, but it should
work. Let me know if you have any success.
I don't know when I'll get time to test it out, but if I get
something working I'll add it to actionscriptexamples.com and/or
flexexamples.com.
Regards,
Peter
