Rotated axis values and language-specific characters

If you use axis values that are rotated by 1-89 degrees, then you might not see non-Latin letters. The reason is that when using rotated values, amCharts loads font_name.swf from the computer's fonts folder. In order to keep files smaller, only standard Latin letters, numbers and punctuation are included in these files.

The solution is quite easy if you have Adobe Flash installed:

  1. open the tahoma.fla file in your operating system's fonts folder
  2. double-click on the square on the stage or on the "Symbol 1" in the library
  3. click on the square on the stage so that it is selected. You should see text field properties at the bottom of the screen
  4. in the text field properties, select the font you are going to use
  5. click on the "embed" button
  6. in the popup window, select the characters that you need to embed. The less characters you select, the smaller the file size will be. You can try several different combinations if you are not sure which characters you need.
  7. click OK, save your movie as your_font.fla and publish it.
