Embedded fonts for dynamic or input text fields
For dynamic or input text fields, embed fonts. However, some fonts, particularly those used for Asian languages, can add significantly to the SWF file size when embedded. With Flash, you can select ranges of fonts to embed.
You can also embed fonts by creating a font symbol in the library.
Select and embed a range of fonts
- On the Stage, select a dynamic or input text field, show the Property inspector (Window > Properties > Properties), and click Embed.
-
Select the range of font sets to embed by doing any of
the following:
-
Click a character set in the Character Set text field.
-
Select multiple ranges by Shift-clicking the first and last fonts of a contiguous range of fonts, or by Control‑clicking (Windows) or Command-clicking (Macintosh) to select noncontiguous fonts, click Auto Fill, and then click OK.
-
Note:
Select
only the font sets to embed, so you do not exceed the internal maximum number
of glyphs for the authoring tool (approximately 65.500). Flash does
not perform error-checking to confirm that the selected character
set contains glyphs. During the publish or export procedure, only
glyphs that are present in the font are embedded in the SWF file.
Embed font sets from text on the
Stage
- On the Stage, select a dynamic or input text field, show the Property inspector (Window > Properties > Properties), and click Embed.
- Select the character sets to embed and click AutoFill.
Remove embedded font sets
- On the Stage, select a dynamic or input text field, show the Property inspector (Window > Properties > Properties), and click Embed.
- Click Don’t Embed to remove all of the embedded fonts.
- Click OK to close the dialog box, or select other fonts sets to embed in the SWF file.
