Flex 4.10.0 embed font change
Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue with switching to 4.10.0 from 4.9.1 and was wondering
if anyone else has experienced it when switching SDK.
I have a couple of projects running on 4.9.1 and was trying to update them
to 4.10.0 to take advantage of all the improvements/tweaks and added
components that have been contributed through all your hard work.
Downloading and switching SDK's using Flashbuilder was a breeze, and both
applications compiled without any issues and function perfectly... with one
exeption. Embedded fonts aren't being recognized anymore.
I'm pulling in the fonts using a linked stylesheet
<fx:Style source="css/font.css"/>
In the css I embed the font using
@font-face
{
src: url("fonts/Interstate-LT.ttf");
fontFamily: "Interstate-Light";
}
and apply to the application using
s|Application
{
fontFamily:"Interstate-Light";
fontSize:13pt;
color:#404041;
paragraphSpaceAfter:8;
}
When I run the application I get numerous warnings along the line of
warning: incompatible embedded font 'Interstate-Light' specified for
spark.components::RichText (RichText488) . This component requires that the
embedded font be declared with embedAsCFF=true
I've tried changing
@font-face
{
src: url("fonts/Interstate-LT.ttf");
fontFamily: "Interstate-Light";
embedAsCFF:true;
}
but the result is the same. Switching back to 4.9.1 fixes the issue so my
question is does anyone know what change might have occurred to cause this?
PS Thanks for all the work you guys are doing! I'm really hoping Flex lives
on through Apache and am hoping to be able to contribute asap.

Pre-checking the "required" is probably ok. I'm pretty sure we can't
default into the optional stuff.
Note, though, that BlazeDS has been donated, so the only remaining
optional download (IIRC) is the Embedded Font Libraries. Does anybody
have the time and motivation to help me re-write these? The primary thing
we need is a spline converter (take in an array of spline points, generate
a new array with a different spline algorithm).

We did have a 'Select All' button. We could perhaps bring it back and pose
a challenge saying 'Do you agree to all these licenses?' or something like
that.

Hi,
May not be possible to pre check them as we have to let the user make a decision/perform an action to accept the license.
Does anyone know what other Apache projects do in situations like this?

well even the parts that are listed as *required* aren't preselected. and i've
been burned forgetting the remoting bits several times.
so yeah, making them all preselected & letting the user un-select the ones they
don't want sounds like a good idea to me.

Hi,
This is come up several time, and while I know not every one reads text) how about change the text to this?
"Adobe libraries and utilities for embedded font support"
Or as much as I hate them a pop alter that says something like.
"While Font Embedding is an optional feature, it's recommended that you install it. Not installing it mean that fonts may not display correctly in your application."
Could we make make the optional parts opt out rather than opt in or do we run into issues around accepting the software licenses there?
Thanks,
Justin

Just checking - did you choose the optional 'Adobe Embedded Font Libraries
and Utilities' component in the Installer?
Thanks,
