SWFFontDescriptionSWFFont swffont ( string filename )
If filename is the name of an FDB file (i.e., it ends in ".fdb"), load the font definition found in said file. Otherwise, create a browser-defined font reference. FDB ("font definition block") is a very simple wrapper for the SWF DefineFont2 block which contains a full description of a font. One may create FDB files from SWT Generator template files with the included makefdb utility- look in the util directory off the main ming distribution directory. Browser-defined fonts don't contain any information about the font other than its name. It is assumed that the font definition will be provided by the movie player. The fonts _serif, _sans, and _typewriter should always be available. For example:
swffont() returns a reference to the font definition, for use in the swftext->setfont() and the swftextfield->setfont() methods. SWFFont has the following methods : swffont->getwidth(). | ||||||||||
