A flashdevelop project (compiling with flexsdk 4.5.0) is using assets from various other SWCs.
In the main swf, when the assets are added on stage, no text is displaying when a font is set.
I tried both embedding, and not embedding the fonts in the various SWCs, but nothing seems to work yet.
What embedding strategy should I use?
Notes: I am using Classic Textfields, tried embedding and not embedding the fonts in the various SWCs.
Font embedding can take a bit of time to explain, so check out my post about it here: http://divillysausages.com/blog/as3_font_embedding_masterclass
Simple things to check:
Is embedFonts set to true on the TextField?
Is your font embedded with embedAsCFF=false? In flex 4.5, it's true, but you only need it to true if you're using Spark components.
Are the glyphs that you're looking to use embedded? In flashdevelop, open up the swc (+ button) and see how many glyphs are embedded for the font you're looking for.
Is the same font embedded twice in 2 different swf (static textfields count as well). There seems to be a bug with Flash where it'll take the first instance of an embedded font and ignore the rest. For example, if you has SWC A, which had "hello world" in Arial embedded (static textfield, say), then in SWC B, even though it might have the whole font embedded, it'll use the Arial from SWC A (unless SWC B is in another "weight", e.g. bold).
Maybe this is a too late answer, but I've been looking around for an answer to a similar problem, and I hope this will help someone else.
I had the same problem going on: My visual content is developed using Flash CS6 (published as SWC) and my "player" is developed using Flash Builder 4.7. On mac, everything worked as charm but when I switched to windows, the swc components fonts (Arial, nothing fancy) were slightly different causing visual misalignments.
After tons of days trying to figure out what was the problem I found out that when I added a spark TextInput component in Flex, the swc components went nuts with the fonts. My workaround has been removing all spark text components from the player (flex); Now it works perfectly.
Can't really understand why adding a s:TextInput causes such behaviour or how to prevent it.

When I use my fonts outside of user controls I have them loading correctly. But when the word has accent and is inside UserControl the font is appearing in bold, I've tested more than one font and the problem happens.
In the image I inserted a sentence written on top of the whole frame in the same way as a sentence written inside a UserControl, what is outside proves that the accents work without being bold and inside shows that all the words that are accented are in bold.
The problem only happens on iOS.
I found the problem. I had edited some texts in another editor (VSCode) and also copied some others from another platform that we used, the problem happened due to the encode of these other tools, when pasting in VStudio it caused the problem.
Just rewriting the texts directly by VStudio and the problem has been fixed.
I'm using Froala editor (the free version) and I have the problem that I can't see any icons on the formating buttons.
Is there any way to fix it? Thanks!
You're not including Font Awesome correctly or if you have simply opened a HTML file using the file protocol the icons don't appear in Firefox (see Fonts Not Showing https://froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/browsers).
It is best to include Font Awesome like on https://github.com/froala/wysiwyg-editor/blob/master/examples/basic.html#L6 in order to avoid all the issues above.
Have you seen this?
I have a little utility application (for easy load / test xml generation from CDS and/or DBGo), and I had put some buttons (the poorest button of all, TButton) to trigger some actions.
I never paid attention to appearance, because I'm the only one that uses it. So today I added a new button, and they appeared different from the others in designer - but not when running. It's just an copy and paste process (change the button name, caption and event - the rest is equal to the origin).
When I looked the other buttons have an grey gradient and round corners, the button I copied and pasted not (just a bare rectangle). When running all buttons where just bare rectangles.
So I discovered that on designer, W7 and delphi are applying themes. On running, they are obeying the Project/Options/Application/Enable runtime themes flag.
This is annoying. There's a way to make Delphi doing that obeying the project options flag on forms designer?
(Or even manually if is not possible to automate that)?
EDIT:
The toolbars on the form are from CNWizards ;-)
EDIT II:
Apart of disabling themes for the IDE executable, all buttons get themed equally if the form (or project) is reloaded. But it's really weird.
If you want to enable/disable themes in the IDE, then open the properties of bds.exe, select the 'Compatibility' tab, and make sure that the 'Disable visual themes' checkbox is unchecked/checked.
Programs that you run from the IDE will inherit the compatibility settings of the IDE.
Delphi IDE itself is an application and the way the designer draw the form is using the setting for the IDE application (delphi32.exe or bds.exe's compatibility settings) so the answer is no. The default behaviour is different between IDE versions, for eg. the opposite behaviour (not drawing themed) happened in past.
At the top of the Delphi IDE is a toolbar with buttons grouped together on little movable trays. I'm trying to implement something like that, but not having much success. I've found TToolbar, but I can't figure out how to set up the movable trays. Does anyone know where I could find a simple demo app that shows how it's done?
I believe the webbrows.dpr located in the cool stuff demo directory (and included in all installs of Delphi since around Delphi 6 or so) contains just the demo you are looking for. This gives you the effect your looking for using only CodeGear supplied components. You add multiple bands and set the fixed size to false for the bands you want to allow to be movable.
You can try the Toolbar2000 Component from Jordan Russell or the TBX package wich is an extension for Toolbar2000 components.
Toolbar2000 is a set of components for CodeGear Delphi and C++Builder designed to mimic the Office 2000 look and behavior. It includes draggable and dockable toolbars and menus.

Bye.
You can put your toolbars in a standard VCL TCoolBar or TControlBar. AFAIR this can get a bit messy sometimes. For an example, have a look at the CoolStuff demo, as skamradt suggested.
I just recently upgraded to 436 from 419, and have found that fitExactly will no longer have any effect.
You can see an example here:
(With 419)
(With 436)
The javascript config is in the page head.
I checked the versions in between, and the latest it works with is 419.
I could adjust the width in the Javascript configuration, but then there would be a gap left on the side of the dropcap I'm using it on, and the fact that I'm integrating it with a Wordpress theme that automatically applies sifr (other than the one in the example), meaning that each can't be adjusted by changing the width or font size.
I would much prefer to use 436, especially due to there being less page shifting, so, is there a remedy?
Thanks for your time.
If you compare the width and height of the Flash movie on both pages, you'll see that it's the same. In other words, it looks like fitExactly works fine. I wouldn't know though why Flash is clipping the rendered text.
Just to test, could you open the r436 JavaScript file, search for '419' and replace by '436', and then use the r419 Flash movie? Perhaps that provides further clues.
