Question
Keeping bold attribute for embedded font?
I’ve read a lot about this but so far nothing has
worked. I’ve got a bunch of dynamic and input text boxes. I
want the display font to be Arial-bold. I don’t have a
genuine Arial-bold font so what I really want is Arial with a bold
attribute. I’ve tried all of the following but the result is
always just plain Arial:
1. Put dummy text in box, specify Arial, click Bold attribute, click Embed and include numbers and punctuation – run time result: plain Arial
2. Import Arial to library, give it the name f-Arial Bold, click the bold attribute box, check linkage and export for AS3 in first frame, get warning about class name (not sure why), put dummy text in box, specify f-Arial Bold*, click Embed and include numbers and punctuation – run time result: plain Arial
I could have sworn option 1 worked early in development, but for now I can’t get Arial-Bold in any of my text boxes (except static). Thanks.
