I am trying to make an application 4 somebody, i use two types of fonts at home on my pc,( dark blue, and army).  
When i see my work on pc’s where that font isn’t installed i get to see the replacement font wich i hate.

How can i make sure, that the font i use when i create a site, also is seen on the users computer.

I heared about embedding a font, but i can’t clearly see yet how/what is does and how that is done.

Hope somebody can tell me. 😉

hi,

select the text tool and in the properties panel click on the ‘characters’ button.

If u r creating the text field dynamically use  
myTextField.embedFonts = true;

Hope it helps

If you create nothing but dynamic textFields, you’ll have to include the font in your libary.

pom 🙂

Well i got my font in my library, it added about 14k , i set the linkage but still the right font does not show up at a computer that hasn’t got that font installed.(at my work)

ain’t that strange, i should be able 2 use whatever font i wanna use, shouldn’t i.  
There was also a big difference in size of the font, the whole txt layout was destroyed cause the txt was shown in an increased width/height.

If i got this problem between 2 pc’s, i think it would be a big problem for me if i don’t get it fixed.

Then everytime i make something at home, the whole layout is destroyed on the users computer.

I cant believe it, won’t believe it, i know am doing something wrong here.:_( :_( :\*( ☹ 😠

peace 2 u all
