Hello,
Is there documentation for embedding fonts? If so, where?

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,

You will find a sample stack at the following location on your hard disk:

/application folder/revolution <license>/<version>/resources/examples/font loading sampler.rev

Because people keep asking for the docs, I have put theinfo here:

http://runrev.info/Altfont%20Docs.html

I will keep it there, until the same information is provided officially by Runrev Ltd.

Best,

Mark

Hi BvG,

I am aware of the documentation about RevFont in Revolution, but I can't find any reference to the "suckup" and "spitout" scripts, i.e. how to embed a font.

Best,
