I was trying to make a site converted to HTML5 from Flash. While everything went well, the fonts, which are using TextFormat, do not show up on HTML5?! The main site is in Flash but coded in haXe, so transition was not a problem but then is there are way to convert the dynamic texts with TextFormats to HTML5 or its not possible yet !
Thanks

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
Fonts are supported on HTML5.
First, make sure that the fonts are included as assets through your NMML file. This will cause the font hash to be generated (as necessary) when compiling your project. Then you should be using nme.Assets to get a reference to the font:
var font = Assets.getFont ("asset/path/to/font.ttf");
var format = new TextFormat (font.fontName, 24, 0xFF0000);
var textField = new TextField ();
textField.defaultTextFormat = format;

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
If you're using nme.Assets.getFont, it should work on all targets.
There was a minor bug that prevented embedded fonts from appearing for iOS, but that was corrected in the last release

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
Hmm, that's strange. I just tried it again on my end, and worked correctly.
In the same directory of the font, it should create a *.hash file. For example, I have a "Brady Bunch Remastered" font, named "BradBunR.ttf". When I publish for HTML5 the first time, it creates "BradBunR.ttf.hash" then uses that to embed font details with my project.
Are you using a TTF font? It looks like the font tools for hxswfml are designed for TTF

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
I am using "Herculanum.ttf" and can not see any .hash neither in source folder nor in export folder.
It compiles fine!!

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
Would you mind seeing what happens if you run hxswfml manually?
In the "tools/command-line/html5" directory of NME, there is a file called "hxswfml.n" that is used to generate the hash file:
neko hxswfml.n ttf2hash /path/to/font.ttf -glyphs 32-255

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
hey singmajesty,
thanks a lot.
How i run that manually?!
When I navigate to the lib folder and fireup
neko hxswfml.n
I think that run successfully with some information on screen to provide the required parameters. Is that fine or I need to do something else to see.

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
opps sorry for my hurry.
I think I found the problem.
Now I run the command you specified from the same folder I was trying to publish to HTML. And the error is as below
Uncaught exception - load.c(176) : Module not found : hxswfml.n
So, whats the fix?! thanks a lot.

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
If you are running from the directory of your project, you will need to specify an absolute path to hxswfml.n.
Or, this is easier:
Copy hxswfml.n to the directory with your font, then try and run it (using the name of your font)

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
ok, now updated my NMe lib to latest version. That also did not fix this issue. I am sure what that error is saying even! Does that mean I do not have the font needed! nyway going to try that with some other font.
Any input would be a good help.
thanks

Re: missing fonts on HTML5?
ok. go it working locally in the folder.
I mean I changed the font with another font and there is no error now while trying the
neko hxswfml.n ttf2hash /path/to/font.ttf -glyphs 32-255
But still could not compile to HTML5!
