Embedded Fonts Issue Air 28

[dews]

I'm using feathers SDK 3.3.1 (embedded font libs included).

All is well with AIR 27 - when I overlay Air 28 (AdobeAIRSDK) - the embedded fonts are no longer showing up.

Android is working as expected - this issue is just affecting iOS on the device.

Note the code below that fails to render any text when the fontFamily is an embedded font.

var label :Label = new Label();

     label.textRendererFactory = function():ITextRenderer

     {

          var renderer :TextFieldTextRenderer = new TextFieldTextRenderer();

              renderer.embedFonts  = true;

          return renderer;

     }

     label.fontStyles = new starling.text.TextFormat( fontfamily, fontSize );

more details: android - ok, desktop flash - ok, rolling the same project back to AIR 27 - ok. Starling's default verdana is ok too.

IOS + AIR28beta + any embeded font = fail

The sample project would consist of just a few lines of code..  Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Use the Feathers installer to pull 3.3.1: https://feathersui.com/sdk/ - (be sure to include the embedded font libs)

2. Create a new Flex Project and point it to the Feathers SDK just downloaded.

3. Add an embedded font to your project - eg:

[Embed(source="assets/fonts/gothambold.ttf",  fontFamily="gothambold", mimeType="application/x-font", embedAsCFF="false")] public static const GothamBold :Class;

4. Use code:

var label :Label = new Label();

     label.textRendererFactory = function():ITextRenderer

     {

          var renderer :TextFieldTextRenderer = new TextFieldTextRenderer();

              renderer.embedFonts  = true;

          return renderer;

     }

     label.fontStyles = new starling.text.TextFormat( "gothambold", 15 );

     label.text = "Some test text";

this.addChild(label);

5. Run this on an iOS device and you'll see the text using the embedded font

6. Now overlay AIR 28 onto the SDK - run it again - and this time you won't see any text on the device.
