Font ‘Arial’ successfully embedded (embedded fonts: Arial)!
Font is incapable of displaying ‘Text: /šššžžžžžžž/öüäõ/фваыафиывапывап/’

Is the above AS3_test.fla work for you?

Anyway. The interesting thing is that if you put a dynamic text filed with special characters to the stage and click embed all, its ok. But if you add this font to the library and check “Export for actionscript” special characters disappear.

It's already a workaround in itself as the embedding in ActionScript fails for the unicode ranges.

Hi flash tekkie, thanks for you comment on my font-embedding tut and your FYI. but unfortunately I can't find a workaround here like you said. Did you copy the wrong url?

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?
