Using embedded fonts

In many cases, you would want to use embedded fonts to ensure that your site maintains the desired look and feel. Here are the instructions to adhere to when using embedded fonts with the fCMS:

1. Create an empty dynamic textfield in an area off stage (where it will not be visible) for each font that you wish to embed. Ensure that the appropriate font is selected for each of these textfields and click on the embed button to select the character set that you wish to embed.

Note: Bold, Italic and Bold/Italic styles of the fonts are actually different font files, so you should create a separate textfield for the same font with each of these options selected (if you wish to allow these styles).

 

2. In order to use embedded fonts in a textfield that is editable through the fCMS, you must ensure that the embed property of the textfield is set to true. You can do that either through ActionScript, or by simply embedding the desired font style into the same textfield.

 

3. When setting the properties of the TextSatellite, you must ensure that you have created a limited font list which consists of the embedded fonts only. Also, if you are using embedded fonts and you have not embedded the bold and italic styles, you must ensure that you do not include these controls in the TextSatellite properties, else the text will disappear if a user clicks on these buttons.
