How would you go about using an external .CSS file to control a few different font classes?

That way a client could make updates to say.. an XML file using HTML/CSS tags to decide which embedded font to use?

The above post was due to a typo in the font name. Please disregard but be aware that this error shows if the name of the font is incorrect and effort should be made to catch this.

When compiling in FlashDevelop I get the following Reference error:

[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable swf is not defined.

since at compile time ‘fontsDomain’ has no targeted swf reference. Anyone know how to correct this problem?

Per the mysterious commenter ‘Eric’, this indeed will not solve the “embed subset problem”.

I suspect he did not post the ’superior’ method cos he doesn’t have it! neither do I sadly. But rest assured once I’ve cracked it I’m going to share it with the world! Stupid, stupid, stupid Adobe. It’s amazing what we let them get away with…

Thanks for such a good article of runtime font embedding .I am able to implement this in my project ,fonts are coming from swf but what i’m trying to do is that getting the different font from different swf but in Font.enumerateFonts(false) does not return all of the font embed it’s just repeat the 2 or 3 fonts and sometimes just add only one . here is my code which i’m using in my project with your loadFont and other class .Thanks

public function fontupload()
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 4 ; i++)
{

var coantainerfonts:Coantainerfonts = new Coantainerfonts()/seprate class for fonts with-in library

coantainerfonts.mc.width = coantainerfonts.txt.width
coantainerfonts.name = “fontconatiner”+i
coantainerfonts.x = 0
coantainerfonts.y=i*(18)

fontsMC.addChild(coantainerfonts)

var tempStr:String = “_fontembed” + (i + 1) + “.swf” //refernce to differnt swf
var tempname:String = “EFont0″+(i+1)
var font = new LoadFont(tempStr, [tempname]);

font.addEventListener(LoadFont.COMPLETE, successLoadFont);
font.addEventListener(LoadFont.ERROR, failLoadFont);

}

)

}
private function successLoadFont(e:Event)
{

var mc:MovieClip = fontsMC.getChildAt(_counter) as MovieClip
var TxtRef:TextField = mc.txt as TextField

var embeddedFonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(false);

var txtformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat()

txtformat.font = embeddedFonts[_counter].fontName

trace(embeddedFonts[_counter].fontName)//trace similar font names

TxtRef.embedFonts = true
TxtRef.text =embeddedFonts[_counter].fontName

TxtRef.setTextFormat(txtformat)

_counter++;

}

Thank you very much for the LoadFont class. It works perfectly. Only two corrections:

line 17:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, font_ioErrorHandler); // adding contentLoaderInfo

line 34:
for (var i:uint = 0; i < fontList.length; i++) { // the < simbol

Thank you and sorry for my English
