Dynamic text does not show accents

Dynamic text does not show accents
Thu, 8 May 2008 08:49:47 +0000
In Flash CS3, a ActionScript 2 file... 

 I have a dynamic text (loading from a .txt file in german - anti-alias for 
readability) that works with an embeded font (I chose to embed all glyphs that 
are not Greek, Cyrilic, Japanese, Thai, Chinese...). The problem is that when I

export the swf file my text appears without accents. All the letters that have 
an accent disappear, and also some symbols... ?, ?, ?... I`ve checked and the 
font actually has this glyphs but they simply don`t work in my dynamic text. 

 Does anyone know what`s going on? Suggestions? 

 Thanks!

When the glyphs are embedded there is the option of including all the 
characters or just the standard set. I guess you are only embedding the 
standard set and hence the missing accents and symbols. CS3 should 
normally choose the correct option, but if you are dynamically changing 
the text it won't see that it needs all the characters. Set the default 
text string to include the symbols and accent characters and it will 
then embed everything you need.
