embedded font problem 1

[wangbar]

Anyone got a solution to this?

I've just created a multi-lingual site - there's one master .swf which loads UTF-8 encoded XML content for 16 languages. Everythings works fine, accented characters show correctly for French, Spanish and the like. Until we get to Polish...

I have the correct central european character set installed for the font (meta-bold), and the XML data shows correctly in the text boxes until I embed the font then suddenly some (but not all) of the special characters don't show.

If I select the text showing in the text box when the movie is run and paste it into notepad the characters show up again. The data is there so it's an font outline problem but does anyone know why certain characters from the font aren't showing? And if so any clues on how to rectify this?

make sure all versions of the font are embedded , bold, italic, etc.

Done that already - basically any character with a unicode number above FF/256 will not show in the embedded font anything below that seems fine.

Yeah I saw that one while I was looking for an answer, it pretty much confirms that you can only embed the standard character set. What a pain, I'm going to have to build a new font with the characters I need replacing ones I don't :-(

Thanks anyway...

upss,
have exactly the same pain!!!
Its has been already more than 1 year since this thread was written, is there still no solution?

Some special characters don't show up if font is embedded. I have prticularly problem with Czech characters "ý" and "r" (159 and FD in unicode)

is there really no way to have these caracters embedded? Im using masks I have to embedd it! It makes the whole flash useless for czech language???

...don't take it too seriously

was just checkin' macromedia site and took one copy of flash MX 2004 proffesional. Thats the solution for the problem. You can choose what character set you want to embedd... excellent!!! Keep on doing a good work Macromedia!
