Content Pane - Alternate Text?

[Craiger9e]

Hi, I have a semi rare font used in the content pane, and if it's not loaded on somoene's cpu, it'll show up Times New Roman as a default. Is there a way to make it go to Verdana as an alternate?

Thanks in advance,

Craig

I believe there is -- create a dummy dynamic text box with embedded font. Make the dynamic text box invisible or put off stage. I will let Wilbert confirm this.

Creating a dummy field can be used when using font embedding.

If you don't want to embed a font, you can use the setTextFormat and setNewTextFormat functions of the contentpane. I believe it's possible to create and assign a TextFormat object with a list of comma separated font names assigned to its font property.

Another way would be to use html enabled text and use the html font tag to specify the fonts you want.
