hi

           I am using textLayout.swc in flex 3 Bulider (SDK3.4Ver)

     when i write code like :-

     SpanElement.fontFamily = "Symbol";

     no changes in font reflected, it gives default font i.e. Times New Roman.

     So Symbol fontFamily not supported by textLayout Framework.

     If anybody know how Symbol font is used in textLayout, please reply.

     its urgent.

TLF and flashplayer are unicode based.   Changing the font is not sufficient you also have to give unciode values for glyphs that are in the font.  The symbol font doesn't include the standard roman characters to flashplayer falls back to using default fonts.
