Copyright Symbol Embed Issue
I can't seem to get the Copyright symbol to display with Myriad Pro. The font embeds properly and displays fine, just the © symbol won't show up. I've tried:
- Embedding an swf with the font embedded in it with the '©' set to be included, when I export it the symbol is there.
- Embedding the otf file for the typeface.
- Tried embedding other typefaces otf files.
Actionscript Code:
FontEmbed.as:
[Embed(source='fonts/myriad/MyriadPro-Semibold.otf', fontWeight='semibold', fontFamily = "Myriad Pro", mimeType='application/x-font')]
public static var MyriadSemibold:Class;
public function FontEmbed()
{
Font.registerFont(MyriadSemibold);
}
public static var MYRIAD_SEMIBOLD:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Myriad Pro Semibold", 24, 0x000000, false, false);
Actionscript Code:
Footer.as
legalCopy = '©2010 Earthcolor. All rights reserved.';
legal = label(legalCopy);
private function label(str:String):Sprite
{
var cont:Sprite = new Sprite();
var format:TextFormat = FontEmbed.MYRIAD_SEMIBOLD;
format.size = 11;
format.color = 0x555555;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.multiline = false;
tf.selectable = false;
tf.gridFitType=GridFitType.NONE;
tf.defaultTextFormat = format;
tf.text = str.toUpperCase();
cont.addChild(tf);
return cont;
}
I get the full line of text, so it seems like it's an embedding issue. Any thoughts?
