[swfmill] [Fwd: Re: Font Embedding]

[gabriel]

Mark, thanks I can't figure it out...

I've tried your suggestion and no way:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
   
<movie width="320" height="240" framerate="12">
  <background color="#ffffff"/>
    <font id="*jettat*" name="*jettat*" import="*jettat*.ttf" />
    <textfield id="hellobox" width="200" height="50" size="20" 
font="*jettat*" text="HELLO world!"/>
    <place id="hellobox" name="output" depth="10"/>
  <frame/>
</movie>

The library tag has something to do here? swfmill is not complaining 
about anything.
The TTF file is called "jettat.ttf" and the font name is "Jetta Tech". I 
assume that @font in textfield is "jettat" (the font id) right?
I've attached the ttf file, can you test it please? so we know if is 
working or not?  

I'm compiling like this:

swfmill.exe simple testText.xml testText.swf

is that correct?

thanks again.
Gabriel
