VectorText.extractFont takes any ByteArray including the that of the current swf.

VectorText.extractFont(root.loaderInfo.bytes);

I am using VectorText.extractFont( . . . in Away3D in a Flash Builder4 Beta 2 project.

Would it be possible to extract fonts that are already embedded in the same swf file ( the FB4 output file ) instead of loading a swf for font extraction?
It would be more memory and load-time efficient to use the same embedded fonts for both regular and 3D text.

I had actually forgotten to add the properties

I went added and added these

public function get isBold():Boolean { return (_flags & 0x01) != 0; }
public function get isItalic():Boolean { return (_flags & 0x02) != 0; }
public function get isBoldItalic():Boolean { return isBold && isItalic; }
public function get isRegular():Boolean { return !isBold && !isItalic; }

also, I’m pretty sure we’re looking at the same documentation.

7. UB[1] Has font metrics/layout information.
6. UB[1] ShiftJIS encoding.
5. UB[1] SWF 7 or later: Font is small. Character glyphs are aligned on pixel boundaries for dynamic and input text.
4. UB[1] ANSI encoding.
3. UB[1] If 1, uses 32 bit offsets.
2. UB[1] If 1, font uses 16-bit codes; otherwise font uses 8 bit codes.
1. UB[1] Italic Font.
0. UB[1] Bold Font.

so Bold should be _flags & 0×01 and italic should be _flags & 0×02. I didn’t test these. I’m just assuming is right. let me know if you find it to be flawed.
