Hi! I’m sorry for the newbie question, but i think that you can help me

I have the ttf file embedded in my app. i’m trying to build it using the ANT mxmlc tag.
But, where do i put de tag? Inside the mxmlc? it does not working there, neither outside!
i’m getting crazy here!

is there something else that must be done?

thanks!

Hi Phil,

You’re right, the ant doc leaves a lot to be desired. I didn’t have time to include examples on using embedded fonts in ant tasks. I did, however, write the sections on the compiler args and the font managers, so I _should have_ been able to add a section on it fairly easily.

I’ll see if I can add a section in the next version of the documentation (which will come out with Flex 4). Thanks for pointing out the deficiencies. These things often get by us unnoticed!
