Hi,

I´m using the arcgis for organizations beta.
I published a really complex map with special designed fonts.
It´s pretty awesome that all the fonts are embedded and correctly displayed in the map service.
But now I´m wondering and I´m interested in how this is working and what´s behind that? Are the fonts saved in the service definition file or something like this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Anna

If a font is flagged as "embeddable" it will get packaged up in the service definition. When the cache is created on the server, the map will draw with the appropriate font. Of course if a font is not embeddable, it will not be packaged in the service definition and will not look right in the resulting cache.

Thanks,

Mike
