USING FLEX 4
Fonts
If you set the enumerateDeviceFonts argument to true, the enumerateFonts() method returns an array of
available device fonts on the client system, but only if the client’s mms.cfg file sets the
DisableDeviceFontEnumeration property to 0, the default value. If you set the DisableDeviceFontEnumeration
property to 1, Flash Player cannot list device fonts on a client computer unless you explicitly configure the client to
allow it. For more information about configuring the client with the mms.cfg file, see the Flash Player documentation.
Using multiple typefaces
[Output: IPH, Print, Web] [EditorialStatus: Preliminary Review]
Most fonts have four typeface styles: plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic. You can embed any number of typeface styles
in your Flex applications. If you embed only the bold typeface in your application, you cannot use the normal (or plain)
typeface unless you also embed that typeface. For each typeface that you use, you must add a new @font-face
declaration to your style sheet.
Note: Some Flex controls, such as Button, use the bold typeface style by default, rather than the plain style. If you use an
embedded font for a Button label, you must either embed the bold font style for that font, or set the default typeface for
the Button label to match a typeface that you embed.
The following example embeds the bold, italic, and plain typefaces of the Myriad Web Pro font. After you define the
font face, you define selectors for the font by using the same alias as the fontFamily. You define one for the bold, one
for the italic, and one for the plain face. To apply the font styles, this example applies the class selectors to the Label
controls inline:

@font-face {
src:url("../assets/MyriadWebPro.ttf");
fontFamily: myFont;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
embedAsCFF: true;
}
@font-face {
/* Note the different filename for boldface. */
src:url("../assets/MyriadWebPro-Bold.ttf");
fontFamily: myFont; /* Notice that this is the same alias. */
fontWeight: bold;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
embedAsCFF: true;
}
@font-face {
/* Note the different filename for italic face. */
src:url("../assets/MyriadWebPro-Italic.ttf");
fontFamily: myFont; /* Notice that this is the same alias. */
fontStyle: italic;
