There’s an eeror in the Flex application, it says:
Error #2046
I think this is the error:
“The loaded file did not have a valid signature”

@Adrian,

RSLs are specified at compile time.. so the main app will load the RSL that you pass in using (runtime-shared-library-path). If there is a library that the main app doesn’t need but is required for the modules. You can specify that in the compiler arguments for the module. If there are multiple modules, make sure the modules that gets loaded first is compiled against the RSLs..

@Matt,

Yes, its is possible. In Flex 4 we added a new Font Manager (CFFFontManager) which support (DefineFont4) CFF font embedding. There is a new attribute called embedAsCFF which is true by default.

Older MX components (like the ones in your example) work with DefineFont3 format. So you should modify your example and add embedAsCFF: false; in the @font-face declaration.

In case you run into any issues please file a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex

There is still a significant issue in Flex 4. If an RSL is not loaded by the main app, the modules don’t load it!!!! This is a must if one want dynamic behavior with max reuse, where you have multiple modules that have common functionality that should be built into an RSL, that the main application doesn’t either know or care.

Is it possible to embed fonts in an RSL in Flash Builder 4?

I have tried following this post:

but this only seems to work for flex 3.
