StageText iOS use Custom Font Tip

Thank you for this great solution.
This did solve my problems for iOS but not for Android.
Is there any way to embed a custom font for Android with StageText ?

Posting this for my future self who will forget all the iterations it took to get this working with Flash Builder 4.7

1. Make sure that the font file defined in your app.xml is pointing to the correct path.

I had mine in a subfolder src/assets/fonts/MyCustomFont.otf which would require the following in the app.xml

<array>

     <string>/assets/fonts/MyCustomFont.otf</string>

</array>

For reasons I will mention later, I also had the fonts in the root folder src/MyCustomFont.otf which would require the following app.xml

<array>

     <string>MyCustomFont.otf</string>

</array>

2. Make sure to use the font name as Zeloslaw suggested. In my case the font name was slightly different than the font file name.

myStageText.fontFamily = "My Custom Font";

On Windows you can determine this by double-clicking on the font which will give you a font preview and font info.

3. Double-check that the font is being included during build packaging.

Project > Properties > ActionScript Build Packaging > Apple iOS > Package Contents.

Make sure all your fonts have a checkmark to include the files.

Flash Builder has a bug where it will sometimes forget or not see new files added to your source folder.

Note that I was getting different Package Contents listed when Exporting Release Build. For some reason the fonts would no longer be listed.

For this reason, I doubled up the fonts, placing them both in the root as well as a subfolder.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but It doesn't work for me.

I include the lines indicated by you in the Application Descriptor

<key>UIAppFonts</key>
            <array>
                <string>Montserrat.ttf</string>
            </array>

, and then put in such view:

<s:TextInput id="editUsuario" text="ABCDEFGH" prompt="Usuario"

             width="100%" height="100%" 

             fontSize="38" 

             textAlign="center"

             contentBackgroundColor="#ffffff"

             verticalCenter="0" 

             horizontalCenter="0"

             fontFamily="Montserrat"   fontWeight="bold"

             enter="botonIniciarSesion_enter()"

             focusIn="editUsuario_focusInHandler(event)"

             focusOut="editUsuario_focusOutHandler(event)"

             />

In css I have:

s|TextInput {

            border-visible: false;

            fontWeight: normal;

            fontStyle: normal;       

            fontSize: 36;

            fontFamily : Verdana;

            textColor : #77C1C3;

            skinClass:ClassReference("spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin");

        }

Can you help me, please?????

Best Regards and many Thank you.

Thanks for this, how do you do the same for Android though? Despite my font folder being in the "Package Contents", it doesn't display properly for my stage text elements

Hi,
