Topic: Device fonts

Hi,

In my Xbox Live Friends List widget I use device fonts. These appear really nice on the Chumby, and keep the swf size down to almost nothing. Displays fine running the swf on my Mac, too.

However, on the Virtual Chumby they do not display.

Any ideas?

Re: Device fonts

Hello Gingerbeardman,

I think there is recent changes on the virtual chumby, because it don't looks familiar.

I don't know wich changes :-(

Re: Device fonts

Duane, can you confirm an issue with Virtual Chumby?

Re: Device fonts

Virtual Chumby is simply a Flash movie which loads the widget movies - I don't know why it would fail to show device fonts.  Is it possible that it's *not* a font issue, but rather an issue with the widget not liking being loaded into another?

Re: Device fonts

Any reason not to embed the font? Doesn't it only add like 10k when you embed uppercase, lowercase, number and punctuation?

Re: Device fonts

I prefer the embedded font.

I'll check my code - could be an issue with the way I am referring to things, it's my Xbox Live Friends widget
