Embedding Fonts

Scripting Forums AppleScriptObjC and Xcode
#1

Hi community,
I’m fairly new to ApplescriptObjC, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I’m using a font that i found on dafont.com in one of my apps, and i realized, to my embarrassment, that because the font is not a default, it will change it to cambria on all other computers. I know with flash and action script, you can embed your fonts, is there something similar in ApplescriptObjC? Thank you so much,

~Fletcher

I don’t know whether this still works in Lion, but ATSApplicationFontsPath in Info.plist seems to be the go:

Ok, so then i would put something like this in info.plist:

ATSApplicationFontsPath(Extras/Fonts/)

where in the resources/Extras/Fonts there is the .ttf file of the font i want to use? Thanks for the quick reply.

I suspect you us ATSApplicationFontsPath as the key, and the path as the value. Easy enough to try.
