I recently upgraded to Flash CS3 from 8 and now when I publish a swf which is then embedded into a Director 8.5 cast member, the embedded fonts do not show up in the Director projector. The fonts are fine when viewing the swf.

If I set a text field to device fonts they do show in the projector, but this is no good as I need to embed the custom fonts! I have also tried every antialising setting with no luck.

I haven’t changed anything else ie. the Flash code and Director code hasn’t changed. Just the version of Flash.

Any tips?

I do use embedfonts in AS 3.0. The funny thing is a string - “Iamtwo” works fine. But a string - “Iam20345″ or “345″ displays Iam or nothing. The reason is simple hasGlyph has failed for the latter two cases. Now how do I fix this. And what is going on?

Even though Frutiger is part of copyrighted Adobe FontFolio package, having restrictions on including the font outline in PDF files, you should be able to embed the font without an hassle in Flash. Please make sure you embed correct character sets in respect to your locale. So if your language happens to be Sanskrit, Hindi, or some other Indian language you may want to select a Devanagari character set from the Character Embedding dialogue box in Flash.
