Re: [Swftools-common] Re: swfc: font encoding?

[Leonhard Minutillo]

i generated an swf textbox using this:


.flash name="Septmi__.ttf.swf" version=6 background=white
.font myfont "Septmi__.ttf"  # <--- insert font name here
.edittext  fs_font font=myfont size=500% width=1000 height=1000  color=red  
multiline
.put fs_font
.end

the output is here:

http://el.null2.net/swftools/Septmi__.ttf.swf

the source .ttf is here:

http://el.null2.net/swftools/Septmi__.ttf


----> note that most of the umlauts work, except, strangely, the small
"ue". what can i do?



now, i generated another file:

http://el.null2.net/swftools/BeSnDi__.ttf.swf

from this font:

http://el.null2.net/swftools/BeSnDi__.ttf

-------> note: the umlauts dont work at all.

what could be the reason?


bst, Leonhard
