    Hi

    Sorry to up this post but I really think there's something very unexpected with the new Font class added to AS3 and which came with CS4.


    The point is that JSFL method myTextObject.setTextAttr("face", "MyEmbeddedFont*") doesn't work at all on CS4 but it does work on CS3 (I didn't check on CS5).

    What I want to point out here is totally specific to embedded fonts: change the textfield's font for a system font (ex: Times New Roman) through the upper JSFL instruction works perfectly fine on CS3 and CS4.

    I'm very disappointed by this issue and would be very grateful if someone could give me a hand to understand why.

    Please see the full issue description here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/3305797#3305797

    Thanks

    That's what I thought - I'll set them aside - they would be useful in that context, but because they each have so many variations that would be listed by themselves, no fun in the context of font management for print.

    My impression is that they really would only be useful within an application that allows specifying fonts by pixel height - which is likely true of Flash, Fireworks, and Dreamweaver.

    Header
    Hooge
    Iso
    Italic

    Lettau
    Mono
    Monoeger
    Monooge

    Can someone clarify something for me - I have the CS4 Design Premium set and there appear to be 100 plus fonts (from the Goodies - not installed) that I'm guessing are intended to be used at specific pixel heights for web pages. Because I've got over 5000 (legitimate) fonts in my collection, I like to separate out fonts like this, since I don't do much of that kind of work.

    I've not found anything documented about these, but was wondering what others are seeing.

    One of the collections is listed below:
    Ceriph0553.ttf
    Ceriph0554.ttf
    Ceriph0555.ttf
    Ceriph0556.ttf
    Ceriph0563.ttf
    Ceriph0564.ttf
    Ceriph0755.ttf
    Ceriph0756.ttf
    Ceriph0763.ttf
    Ceriph0764.ttf
    Ceriph0765.ttf
    Ceriph0766.ttf

    Each set starts with a simple name, then a series of four numbers and my guess is that the first two correspond to the intended pixel-height the font was designed for - the last two I don't have a guess for.

    Can someone clarify what these fonts are intended to be used for?

    <lol><br /><br />[late post] Not to worry. I will be upgrading to CS4 -- even if I have to "settle" for another option!<br /><br />Neil

    Well, there *are* other registration incentives beside the fonts, you know. :)

    Thanks again, Thomas.

    One more question: How many fonts are included in CS4 that are not in Font Folio 11?
