FontDefinition

This defines an inline font symbol that can be used within the movie. Font symbols are associated with both EditField and TextField symbols. Glyphs from each defined font are embedded in the movie for each character in a Text symbol and for all EditField text that does not have the systemFont property. A Font symbol is output when referenced but can be forced to be output even if no symbol references it.

All Font and FontDefinition symbols with the same fontName and fontStyle are combined prior to output.

Attributes

id	A unique name for the symbol within the movie.
Type	String
fontName	The standard name of the font. The fontName and fontStyle combination should be unique within a movie.
Type	String
fontStyle	Optionally specifies the bold and italic properties of the font as a comma-separated string, presented in parentheses.
Values	bold italic
Default Value	None
codeClass	Optional attribute to indicate the code page associated with the font.
Values	Default Latin Japan Korea SimpChinese TradChinese
Default Value	Default
fontRange	Specifies the minimum character set in this font that should be included in the output movie. The specified range is added to the specified range or content of all referencing symbols.This is best used for the purposes of space optimization rather than the restriction of input characters for an EditField.
Values	All Include all known font characters Defined Include only font characters used in defined symbols User-defined range string. A font range string consists of a comma separated set of ranges. Each range can be a single character constant enclosed in single quotes, an integer character code, a Unicode character code, or a range of characters enclosed in square brackets with a '-' range character e.g. ['a'-'z'], '+', 34, \u0025.
Default Value	Defined
forceOutput	Specify that the font must be output in the movie though no symbol directly references it. This is set to true when decompiling SWF if the font is used in a HTML EditField.
Values	no Include characters in output movie only if directly referenced by symbol. yes Include characters from this font in output when not referenced by symbol.
Default Value	no
includeKerning	In order to correctly render dynamic text that uses embedded fonts, the Flash 8 player can now use embedded kerning information in the font to adjust the gaps between different pairs of characters to enhance legibility. While such kerning information can become quite large in size, KineticFusion will only output the kerning information for those characters embedded in the font symbol.
Values	no yes
Default Value	no
bitmapFont	The Flash 8 authoring tool can convert font definitions so that they render using full pixels at a single specified font size. Pixel fonts are normally expensive in terms of storage space (as each pixel is square is emulated with a vector outline) and must be included for each font size used. This attribute is an information attribute indicating that a decompiled font is a bitmapFont and is not used on input.
Values	no yes
