Changing Font in Mainmenu with own TTF font?

28 Sep 2009, 10:14

Hi there,

I am on the run to style my new gallery (thanks!) and now I want to add my own font (TTF) due to the styling of the mainmenu (Titles).
How is is possible to change the font (via css) - to take the new ttf font.

Please support me

When you say "your own" font, I presume you mean some custom, non-standard font?

Unfortunately, your font choices for Imagevue are similar to font choices for html websites - You need to choose a font-family which is widely accepted on most visitors browsers. The only way to use a true custom font, is to embed the font into the SWF and change some code, but that is currently not an option.

So, you can basically use any global-standard fonts. Usually these are fonts that come as standard on mac+windows, or by using a font-family combo so you can set priorities. You can also, use a custom font, but this will only display for you, and for the few visitors who actually have this font installed.

Hello there,

I mean a font, which is True Type and officialy for sale in www - but it is no web font, which is available on mac+pc.
I tried the option to embed the TTF into the swf, but without having the .fla to rerendering the swf-File, it will not be possible

Yes, well then what I said in my previous post still stands.

Technically, you could embed the font into the SWF, but its not as straightforward as you may think:
1. YES, we provide the FLA file on request. Please read this:
viewtopic.php?t=4233
Do you know how to integrate it though?

2. You will need to embed the font in a textfield, and attach it within the movie.

3. You will need to edit the code where the textfields are, so that you can set embedFonts = true. That will take some time to locate.

4. Finally, you will need to edit the CSS to use your font.
