Displaying non-default fonts on web

1

Hi,

I’m setting up some buttons for a flash webpage, and I want to use particular fonts called Pigae and ‘Just a Dream’, which obviously not everyone’s going to have.

Is there a way to embed the font in to the flash movie, or something with a similar effect? It just comes up as Times New Roman on other computers, and I’ve had to resort to using pre-made images instead which vary in quality when I tween size changes.

Well yes you can. If the textfield is a static textfield you shouldn’t need it. Just make sure you have haven’t checked the “Use Device Fonts” checkbox.

If the textfields are dynamic select the textfield on stage. Open the properties panel and click the button labeled: “Character…” (It’s labeled: “Embed…” in Flash 8) In the popup that opens select the characters you want to embed.
