How big is the resoruces.swf you've compiled? Is it being made properly by swfmill?

Hi again,

Thanks for the help Julian and Pat.

Sorry if I was unclear in my first e-mail. I understand the process for embedding fonts in a resources.swf file. I've been doing this for the English version but once I attempt to embed fonts that display Chinese characters (for example, Simsun) it comes up blank once embedFonts is set to 1.

Unless your implication was that I should use an external program like Adobe Flash to create a resources.swf file with the fonts I require embedded in it?

I had a look at the Xertan group on Google. Does this mean that Xerte is currently incapable of displaying embedded Chinese fonts?

Thanks again,
Chris

Hi,

I have an english Xerte 2 file that I am attempting to translate into Chinese.

All of the text is contained within an XML file that includes HTML tags.

I have attempted to embed multiple Chinese fonts (Simsun, Arial Uni, HanDing) but have been unable to get the text to display while embedFonts is set to 1. If I set it to 0 then I am able to view the Chinese characters but it breaks a lot of the fades and looks messier.

The file looks fine in English so I believe I am embedding the fonts and setting up the XML correctly.

Any help you could give me with Xerte or XML settings would be greatly appreciated. I can provide more information if required.

Thanks in advance,
Chris Dunkley

To use embedded fonts, you need to create a resources.swf that has the fonts embedded in it - see the help,
