[Xerte] Re: Special characters in XOT

[Julian Tenney]

There is some serious voodoo in doing that: it's the same process for loading up resources.swf. That would be one way to go. Compile a resources.swf with the font in you want to include, and then modify the template to load that as the default font.

I have a suspicion you won't find a font with all the glyphs in you need. Play around with standalone Xerte until you think you've got a solution.

Can you hardcode the glyphs into a swf and load them into a XOT piece?

That’s not a question to you, more a too the list thought out load
