Glad you're getting use out of the tool. The newer version of the tool is using a 3rd party library to read the font information (font family and font subfamily). That library occasionally fails to read certain fonts. If you can identify a font that works in the old version but doesn't in the new version please fill out a bug here: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/flash-runtime-font-publisher/issues/list" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/flash-runtime-font-publisher/issues/list</a></p><p>Please make sure to detail the different publish settings for both versions and it'll make it easier for me to debug. I'll take a look at it, and let you know what I can do. Thanks again for your interest in the tool!</p> Hi François. Glad you’re getting use out of the tool.

Please make sure to detail the different publish settings for both versions and it’ll make it easier for me to debug. I’ll take a look at it, and let you know what I can do. Thanks again for your interest in the tool!

I just installed the CS5 one. I welcome the new feature, but this version doesn't open most of the font installed on my Mac (10.6.3). I have the Adobe font collection installed but I can only open the OT files. With your previous version I was able to open most of them. Am I missing something? Please advise? Thanks.

This is a really interesting way to resolve the current workflow though and I like it. Let me know if you are interested in working with us when we get a little closer to full support with our idea too.

For different font weights of a font family, have you tried not including the fontStyle and fontWeight parameters in your embed tag? Still doing some more testing to confirm, but so far when using the Flex 4.0 SDK I've noticed that those parameters seem to be only used for system fonts. Also, I ran into <a href="http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=165106" rel="nofollow">this thread</a> recently. It suggests that OTF files with multiple weights will only work with system fonts. Which I think is a little strange because the <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7e09.html" rel="nofollow">Adobe documentation</a> suggests that this was only possible with the CFF font manager that was introduced with the Flex 4 SDK. Still worth a shot! Hi Karen,

The correct property name to embed a font as a Compact Font Format is embedAsCFF. Using cff as a property would yield the following compile time error using the Flex 4 SDK, "transcoding parameter 'cff' is not supported by 'flex2.compiler.media.FontTranscoder'." This post has been updated. The cff property name was incorrect. The correct property name to embed a font as a Compact Font Format is embedAsCFF.
