Question

Symbol type font in RichEditableText

Hello, can anyone get Wingdings or some other "symbol" type font to work in RichEditableText on Windows?  Even when it's not embedded.  It seems TLF decides which fonts it will display based on Latin-ness.

Anyone run into this also?

My understanding is that TLF (really FTE underneath) is unicode based.  You have to use the unicode values.  For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextFlow xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008"><p fontSize="64"><span fontFamily="Wingdings">asdf&#x263A;</span></p></TextFlow>

From

Hope that helps,

Richard
