Incorporated Fonts (AIR Desktop)

I am making a AIR Desktop (Windows) application using Animate 18.0.2.

In Animate library I have incorporated some fonts I wish to use (and set up the linkage):

I use this code to dinamically select Roboto font:

var fontTitolo = new Roboto_titolo();

var formatoTitolo:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

formatoTitolo.font = fontTitolo.fontName;

formatoTitolo.size = 30;

var titolo:TextField = new TextField();

titolo.textColor = 0x163467;

titolo.defaultTextFormat = formatoTitolo;

titolo.htmlText = "hello";

titolo.x = 10;

titolo.y = 10;

titolo.width = 300;

titolo.height = 200;

titolo.multiline = true;

titolo.wordWrap = true;

titolo.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;

titolo.sharpness = 100;

titolo.thickness = 100;

container.addChild(titolo);

But when I execute the build (.exe) on a PC where the Roboto fonts I have incorporated aren’t installed also on the Operating System the texts are displayed in Times New Roman. On a PC where the fonts are installed on the Operating System the texts are displayed in right fonts.

Please help...

Hi.

if possible try to use a text field already placed on stage (created at authortime by the Animate CC IDE) and you won't face this problem.

But if you do need to add your text field by code at runtime, you're gonna need to specify this in the app descriptor XML.

<embedFonts>
    <font>
          <fontName>Life is goofy</fontName>
          <fontPath>life_is_goofy.ttf</fontPath>
    </font>
</embedFonts>

You can also put your text field inside of a Movie Clip and at runtime add the Movie Clip containing the text field not the text field itself.

Thank you JoãoCésar!!!!!!!!

The suggestion to modify the XML descriptor did not solve the problem... but the suggestion to use text field inside a MovieClip and add this at runtime is the solution!
