I am trying to Embed fonts in External css file using @font-face in flex4.11 sdk. The code snippet is like this,

MyOwnFontStyle.css:

 @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
 @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
 @font-face {
    src:url("font/GOTHICB.ttf");
    fontFamily: myFontFamily;
    embedAsCFF: true;
    fontWeight: bold;
 }

 s|VGroup {
    fontFamily: myFontFamily;
    fontSize: 15;
 }

It builds successfully without any errors. But when am launching application it throws runtime execption like below,

ArgumentError: Error #1508: The value specified for argument font is invalid. at flash.text::Font$/registerFont() at MyOwnFontStyle/setStyleDeclarations() at MethodInfo-19757() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at ModuleInfoProxy/moduleEventHandler() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at ModuleInfo/readyHandler() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/update() at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/docFrameHandler() at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/docFrameListener()

If anyone come across this kind of things, Kindly share your ideas to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.

If anyone facing the same problem, do forcefully include the below statements in your main application.

import mx.core.EmbeddedFontRegistry;

private var embeddedFontRegistry:EmbeddedFontRegistry;

Maybe you setted wrong url. Try to set

src:url("/font/GOTHICB.ttf");

also note that the "font" directory need to be located in "src" directory

Or try to use some new font, maybe

GOTHICB.ttf

file is non-working

  • Thanks for your response. Now its working fine for me. If anyone facing the same problem, do forcefully including "import mx.core.EmbeddedFontRegistry; private var embeddedFontRegistry:EmbeddedFontRegistry;" in your main application. – raj Aug 14 '14 at 09:23
