Depending on the ImageVuex 2 layout and setup,
being able to alter the size of the font may be useful
as well.

Thanks!

I would welcome the option of changing the standard font within the main screen without having to deal with the Flash-file - although the DesertDogHmk-Font is quite nice I'd like to implement mine without the need of buying Flash for that !

Best regards,

Let me explain how FONT integration will work in the forthcoming version:

Font settings will work in a similar fashion as they work for the slideshow module today, meaning that you can pretty much use any font. In the configuration, you will set a specific font, including related attributes like color, size and style. This will however only work for device fonts like Arial, Verdana, Comic sans, Georgia or any other font that you know is integrated in most users systems. This works the same way as when choosing a font for a html page - You need to select a font that you know is available across all users system.

Optionally, you can also use a specific 'custom' font like we are using "Desert_Dog_hmk". This will however require that the font is 'embeded' into the flash source, hence increasing the size slightly. This can be done by creating a font_name.swf with embedded fonts, and adding it as a font module to the configuration so that it will be loaded into the main gallery.

We may provide a few default fonts embeded by default.

Hi,
Ive got problems viewing Head text with the "Desert_Dog_hmk" font. I looked around and I understand why. I have made the .swf including the .ttf font configuration but how can I load this .swf file with the ImageGallery/flashplayer so that the heading text displays correct and in "Desert_Dog_hmk" style?

Regards Andreas

I am not quite sure what you mean ...

I believe perhaps you have exported the SWF without having the Desert_Dog_hmk font installed in your system? This would change the heading font ...

The only thing I have done so far is to use a embedder program to include font style into a .swf file. And after what I have understood, the flash program have to have a .swf file with the Desert_Dog_hmk font to be able to use the font in the gallery.
I have the 1.7 version and even though I have set the headingfont value to DesertDogHmk, it will not show this font.

What do I have to do to make the Desert_Dog_hmk font work?

Andreas

Edit: I have named the .swf file DesertDogHmk.swf and put it together with all the other .swf files. But dont I need to call this file from some sort of mainfile/main flash program?

I guess you are speaking of the slideshow perhaps? The "headingfont" only applies for the text that shows up on the startimage in the standalone slideshow. It is already embedded, as you can see in this example on the startimage: https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/slideshow.php

I am not sure what you are doing with an 'embedder' program or how you intend to load the font into the slideshow or imagevue.

Ok. I would like to have the folderheadings in the slideshow (foldernames and groupnames of my pictures) in the same style as the startup heading. Is this possible?

Have you tried setting:
It works from here, but I think perhaps the font only displays for users who have the specific font installed on their system - Perhaps someone can verify:
https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/slide ... amesize=18

Problem is that the source code needs to change if the font is an embedded font. For instance, the textfield needs to be set as following in flash: Even if the fonts are physically embedded, that line usually would have to be included.

The first header that apears displays in DesertDogHmk, but all the picture names are displayed with some cind of regular font (verdana,arial depending on the browser).

Then unfortunately you are out of luck for trying to get non-public font-sets embedded in those open textfields.
