Using two embedded fonts on one string

Question

Hello, i would like to know how to use two embedded fonts in Flex in tag i am dynamically loading rss description into it and would like to have first character and characters unsupported by other font be in that first font. i limited the range of char of that second font so all unsupported chars and first char should be in that first font.

thanks in advance , Igor.

if my writing was unclear please let me know.

Answer 1

You can do this by applying 2 different TextFormat objects to the text. Also see setTextFormat() on the TextField class that allows you to specify a begin- and endIndex of the text range on which you want to set the textformat.

Answer 2

thanks, figured that out for the textformat part but what to do if one of those two fonts does not support for example numbers , commas fullstops etc. and i use that second font for that. is there a solution to that?
