Embeding non-english characters in a font in the library

1

sup guys, i’m having troubles again :upset:

i’m one of many unfortunate ppl who live in Central Europe (Slovenia), where apart from the basic characters in english language we use 6 more characters. And these 6 characters are the nightmare for every designer who lives here!!! :scream: These are the 蚞ȊŽ (don’t know if you can see them correctly though).

anyway… i’m creating a site in flash with shared font symboly accross many separate SWFs using a shared library. but the library seems to embed only the english and the standard characters since these 6 characters don’t show up in the finished SWF’s.

you guys have any idea how to handle this … i’ve been looking over the web for solutions but it’s too complicated for my brain :h:

anyway … here’s some of the pages i found concerning this matter if it helps: http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php

please help me!!!

try importing your text from a txt-file, saved as unicode.

If you load external text files that are not Unicode-encoded, you should set System.useCodepage to true. Add the following code as the first line of code in the first frame of the SWF file that is loading the data:

System.useCodepage = true;

good luck.

NB. oh and I can read those 6 characters just fine. What’s this font? Arial? Use that then :slight_smile:
