[swfmill] Large font embedding memory issue

[matsuhashi at quick.co.jp]

Ryan,

I am new to this issue, and have made no progress on it, sorry.

In fact I use the swfmill heavily for embedding Japanese glyphs from the
large MSGOTHIC font. But I never use swfmill for embeding ALL glyphs. I
explicitly specify which glyphs I want to. See the following exmaple,
espacially
  <font ... glyphs="..."/>
part. If you enumerate the glyphs to embed, the swfmill runs fast enough.

<movie width="300" height="100" framerate="12">
    <background color="#FFFF00"/>
    <frame>
        <!-- import the numerical characters of vera.ttf -->
        <font id="MSGOTHIC" import="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\MSGOTHIC.TTC"
glyphs="クい012"/>
        <textfield id="kuikui" width="270" height="100" size="60"
font="MSGOTHIC" text="クい012"/>
        <place id="kuikui" name="output" depth="10"/>
    </frame>
</movie>

If I need a swf with ALL the glyphs of a font embeded, I would use Adobe
Flash IDE rather than swfmill. Make a new fla; create a TextField which is
capable of displaying any chars dynamically set; specify the font name you
want (do not specify DEVICE FONT!); then publish it. The swf produced will
have all the glyphs and will be ridiculously big. But is it really what you
want? Curious.


Thanks,

MATSUHASHI, kazuaki

Folks,

Has anyone made any progress on the large font embedding issue[1]?  At
one time there was some talk of moving swfmill from a tree-based DOM
approach to a streaming one(SAX).
