which java version is installed on your computer? to work properly, the swc-generator-plugin needs at least java version 1.6.

I have copied the jar files into the pluginfolder and re started flex but I can not see view.

please help

ERROR MESSAGE: unable to open ‘./flex-config.xml’

Have fun!

thanks again for your comment. The main problem by embedding fonts is the “macStyle” tag of the font. This attribute holds information about the fontWeight and the fontStyle. To handle this automatically, I had to parse the font file header to get these informations.

Hope you enjoy the plugin.

yes, I had the same problem some time ago. Back then the feature of embedding fonts wasn’t even documented. Since then nothing has changed: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=04_OO_Programming_09.html

I fixed my problems by consulting several web sources and identified the following attributes which can/must be used to embed a font:
- fontFamily
- fontName
- fontWeight (i.e. “bold”)
- fontStyle (i.e. “normal” or “italic”)
- mimeType (i.e. “application/x-font-truetype”)
- advancedAntiAliasing (i.e. “true”)

In my case it was a lot of trial and error to find out, that for example you can set fontWeight to “medium” although you have a medium font face. This needed to be “bold” instead. All attributes except fontName are optional. If not used the compiler will spit out a specific warning. The other attributes “fontFamily”, “fontWeight” and “fontStyle” can be helpful if you want to work with embed fonts and css styles.

Maybe this can be of any help to improve your generator. If you have a question about I’ld be glad to help you.

Just checked your latest release. Saving and exporting projects now works like a charme. When I get to it I’ll try to make a test with with css styles and see if this works too with your automatic font detection.

Thx.David

thank you for your comment. Seems to be a problem with compiling .otf-fonts. I updated the source. The other bug with the project file is also fixed. I am sorry for that.
