Since I'm not sure if this is really a FlashDevelop issue, I decided to post it here...

I'm trying to use the [Embed] meta to embed a font for an AS3 project (not a Flex project). I'm compiling with mxmlc (not the Flash IDE). I've got the TTF font in the src directory of my project. It does not seem to be using the font, when I tell the TextField to embedFonts, then no text is shown.

Is it possible to embed fonts for an AS3 project being compiled by mxmlc?
If so, can someone post a working snippet so I can see whether is a problem at my end?

Regards,
John

Thanks Mika. I was using Flex 3, but I'll download Flex 4 and try adding that attribute to the embed tag (adding it with Flex 3 does work).

I downloaded Flex 4, added embedAsCFF = "false" to the [Embed] tag, then got this:

This compilation unit did not have a factoryClass specified in Frame metadata to load the configured runtime shared libraries. To compile without runtime shared libraries either set the -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries option to true or remove the -runtime-shared-libraries option.

Which required me to add the following to the project's Additional Compiler Options array in the project Properties:
-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true

Now it works

Thanks,
John

Thanks, this also solved my problem
