Re: Text in Flash

[John Croteau]

Hi Andrew,


In your html set devicefont = "true". This will then use the fonts

installed on the persons machine NOT just a vector outline. Machines

without that font will get the outline. Note, however DeviceFont changes

all the Fonts available on the users system to system fonts, whether

small or large. Flash does much better with larger fonts on most systems

so devicefont is of value only if you are using only very small fonts.

Also when using Devicefont you may no longer have what you see is what

you get, but rather what you set is what you get. If you changed the

size of a font with Flash's scaling instead of the font size it will not

be reflected when using Devicefont='true".


Another possible solution is with downloadable fonts and DHTML layers,

but it is only available for 4 browsers and Flash can interact only with

IE4 right now. Also, there may be a larger download and more trouble

than you might wish to implement. Netscape and MSIE use two completely

different and incompatible embeded font systems.
