Is there a quick way to change all text containers so that the anti-alias setting is "Use Device Fonts"?
I am using Flash CS5, and need to convert about 300 animations, each with 20 or more text boxes, so that they use device fonts. This is necessary so that we can more easily display traditional Chinese characters.
I can go through each text box, change the font to _sans and it automatically switches to Use Device Font - then I don't need to embed the font files. So I tried to use the Find and Replace tool to change the font on all text boxes. It worked fine at changing the fonts, but it did not auto-switch the anti-alias. Any help on this would save hours of work.
Thanks.
Hopefully you're not too far into your work on this one, but there's a new development with CS5 that will help you with just this. It's called the .xfl format, and all .fla's are actually this format, but zipped up. Have a read here for more info: http://blog.theflashblog.com/?p=1986
What this means is you can convert your fla to xfl (or just change the suffix to .zip and unzip as the above article suggests), and do a Find&Replace on all text field font values.
Hope that helps!

I am working on an application in which I need to support a text box where certain strings are converted to symbols, i.e. custom emoji. The symbols require color and which are not part of any existing emoji set as far as I know. How can this be accomplished?
I looked into making my own font via FontForge and drawing the symbols as svg files. However, so far I have not figured out how to support color.
i'm building a website and wanted to display a bunch of international (pretty obscure) characters on the splashscreen. out of concern for platform-specific system fonts, instead of typing in those characters as text, i want to embed them as SVGs. does anyone know of an easy way to take the glyphs i'm seeing in my keynote / pdf and convert them to SVGs?
tried a bunch of things - converted keynote to pdf and used several online pdf->svg converters, but that misses some obscure characters and returns a misformatted svg. tried copying and pasting the text into figma and exporting as svg, but figma doesn't render more rare international fonts. i just want to take what i'm seeing on my screen and make those SVGs.
The only thing that occurs to me is to open the fonts or drawings in an editor like Adobe Illustrator or Inskcape and edit them there and download them as svg
I am working on a Kivy(Python) Project and I need to display approval(✓) and cross(X) symbol in different scenario. I can display cross symbol but unable to display other one. Is there any way to do this ? Thanks.
Note: I have tried, writing text:'✓' and text:u'2713' under Label in .kv file but it doesn't work.
The font supplied with Kivy doesn't include the tick mark. You need to use fonts that include those symbols. Tick is available in fonts Arial Unicode MS, Wingdings and Wingdings 2. You can download the font ttf file and have it in the same folder with your script.
Link to download the font
https://www.download-free-fonts.com/details/88978/arial-unicode-ms
Then include the font and use it in the label as follow:
Label:
font_name:'arial-unicode-ms.ttf'
text: "This is the tick ✓"
Bro I was also troubling from same problem from morning but now I figured it out actually so I would like to share it with you.I used below code:
def wrong_btn(self):
self.ids.wrong_button.text = u"⌫" self.ids.wrong_button.font_name=r"C:\Users\95532\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts\Arial-Unicode-MS.ttf"
I used this to specify the folder in which the font is stored so you can also download the font you want and just specify the path and don't forget use a r i.e raw string mark or else it wont work I wasted my whole day searching for that hope this helps you bro
I have an SVG graphic that I want to put some text on from my PHP variables. The graphic was generated in Illustrator and resizes in my web page to 100% width. Here is a representation of it:
How could this be done for the 8 text items? Does something special need to be done in Illustrator, like creating an anchor point for the text? How do I update the text item? I've done research but haven't been able to find a similar situation.
Thankful for any information that could help me narrow down my search.
Being someone who has never worked with files of .SVG file type before, this was a misunderstanding.
If you design a graphic in Adobe Illustrator, save it as an SVG and edit it with your favorite text editor, you will be able to see the SVG mark-up. It all makes sense now, and here you will be able to change the text at the code-level.
For my application, I saved the SVG as a PHP file and did an include on it, while changing the raw text to PHP variables in said file. This allowed me to pass my dynamic text as variables to the graphic.
Hi I'm using Inconsolata for powerline font in linux (link 1). Now I want to had some extra symbols. I've successfully added the awesome font symbols from the Inconsolata patched fonts in link 2 to my own copy of Inconsolata for powerline font (i.e. I can successfully copy glyphs to my font and they appear on the terminal).
However when I try to add icons from other fonts, namely the battery icons from Typicons (see link 3) they simply do not appear in the terminal. I've scaled and changed multiple properties but it's always the same.
I'm doing fc-cache -fv and I've checked that if I manually create a glyph it appears after an fc-cache. I'm completely lost here, I'm sure it must be something simple but I've already lost a lot of hours with this and the glyphs never appear in the terminal no matter what I do :-(
Try adding few glyphs from each to a new font file project. If it is a symbol-only font and you don't care/need to follow Unicode assignments, use codepoints for alphabetical characters and numbers.
Generate your file and check for errors. Fix any issues reported by FontForge.
I've discovered the problem. In two words lbearing and rbearing. They must be the same as the other glyphs. The size is also important. Even with a similar lbearing and rbearing if the size of the glyph is too big it will not appear.
