In your MXML file, you point to the defined ranges by using the unicodeRange property of the @font-face
declaration, as the following example shows:
@font-face {
fontFamily: myPlainFont;
src: url("../assets/MyriadWebPro.ttf");
unicodeRange: "englishRange";
embedAsCFF: true;
}
USING FLEX 4
Fonts
Flex includes a file that lists convenient mappings of the Flash UnicodeTable.xml character ranges for use in the Flex
configuration file. For Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES, the file is located at flex_app_root/WEB-INF/flex/flashunicode-table.xml;
for Adobe Flex SDK, the file is located at flex_install_dir/frameworks/flash-unicode-table.xml.
The following example shows the predefined range Latin 1:
Latin I
U+0020,U+00A1-00FF,U+2000-206F,U+20A0-20CF,U+2100-2183
To make ranges listed in the flash-unicode-table.xml file available in your Flex applications, copy the ranges from this
file and add them to the flex-config.xml files.
Detecting available ranges
[Chunk: No] [Output: IPH, Print, Web] [EditorialStatus: Preliminary Review]
You can use the Font class to detect the available characters in an embedded font. You do this with the hasGlyphs()
method.
The following example embeds the same font twice, each time restricting the font to different character ranges. The
first font includes support only for the letters A and B. The second font family includes all 128 glyphs in the Basic Latin
block.
