How to embed fonts

If you are using embedded fonts and would like to use the HTML bold <b> tags in your topic text, you must embed the bold version of the font in your fla in addition to the regular version. There are two ways in which to embed the fonts. Note: The <b> tag can only be used when using method 1. See alternative in method 2.

Method 1 (preferred method):

        1. Create a new dynamic textfield off stage

        2. Select the font and choose to embed the required characters

        3. Press the bold (“B”) button to embed the bold version of this font

Method 2:

        1.    Import the font into your library and select the bold checkbox. 

        2.    Right click on the font in the library, select "Linkage".

        3.    Enter an appropriate name in the identifier field (for example: "Arial Bold") and ensure that you select “Export For ActionScript” and “Export in the First Frame” under linkage.

        4.    When you would like to use bold text, you should specify the font using the identifier name instead of the <b> tags. For example: <font face="Arial Bold">This is typed using Arial Bold</font>.

In order to embed multiple fonts, follow the instructions above for each font. The fonts can now be specified in the topic text using the HTML <font face> tag.
