Hi,

I’m getting crazy with this fonts!
I did everthing which is described her, and it works fine, exept for the bold fonts.

CSS:
@font-face
{
font-family:Arial Bold;
src: url(“coreRTE/fonts/arialbd.ttf”);
font-weight:bold;
}

I get no error if I compile the css via “Compile CSS to SWF”.
But if I thoose te “Arial Bold” font –> my text is away or hidden. I donn’t know!

Has anybody an idear?

Thanks for helping clarify this issue. I was having problems using my embedded fonts (no compile errors) and I thought it had something to do with fontWeight and fontStyle properties. After reviewing your post I realized I wasn’t settting “embedFonts=true” — and in a total “DUH” moment — found my fix!

Hopefully if others arrive here having missed this crucial point they will find this comment helpful. Which leads me to remark that the property would be more aptly called something like “useEmbeddedFonts” instead of “embedFonts”, but in reality it’s on me for not reading the documentation and assuming I knew what the property meant.

Thanks again.
