I know what you're thinking - "Dumbass hasn't embedded his fonts" - right?
Well wrong, I've told it to embedded Numerals, Punctuation and into Include these characters I have typed /£ and although it prints the pound symbol fine it skips the slash!
I've tried doubling it up both in the output string and the Include these characters box in case it needed escaping but I get the same result. It's not like I'm using some weird font either, it's Ariel on a windows box.
Now interestingly the slash does print when I select Use device fonts instead of Anti-Alias for readability but the whole point of using flash for this project is to get as close to pixel identical rendering across all platforms and the device fonts look fugly all jumbled up with the rest of the static anti-aliased text. I have switched between these a few times now and it prompts me to embed fonts when I switch back to anti-alias for readability, this I have done, trying every permutation I could think of along the way, always with the same result, no slash :-(
This is the line of code that sets the text...
annual_total_box.text = "£" + products.range[ current_range ][ current_product ].avg_annual_total( settings ) + "/yr";
The output is £307yr, it's driving me nuts! :-(
What am I doing wrong here?!
Cheers,
Roger.
