Topic: Need help embedding fonts
I'm programming a chumby metronome with Macromedia Flash 8 and am nearly finished. I've got a bpm indicator (right now, a Label component, not dynamic text!) that uses a custom embedded font, which I'm programmatically specifying to be embedded via the .embedFont("True") method.
Unfortunately I'm having two issues with the font:
* The font doesn't display correctly on the chumby. I see text, but it's not my font, nor is it in bold/italic like I've specified. It also seems to exceed the size of the box. I have a sneaking suspicion it's not actually embedding correctly.
* The virtual chumby doesn't display the text at all.
I was careful not to use _root, _layer0 as described in another thread.
My questions are:
* I'm not sure exactly how to embed a font with a label. Has anyone else done this? Should I just change to dynamic text instead?
* What do I need to do to get custom fonts displaying in the virtual chumby? I know other widgets are doing this successfully. I even tried exporting as Flash 7; this didn't help.
I could just give up and use _sans or something, but I really like the idea of a custom font, and I know others have made it work.
P.S. Why is the [list] tag not working on this phpBB board?
