Unable to transcode font file — Flex Builder compilation

I faced this problem recently while working on Flex builder where I wanted to use the free font file with my Flex application. I was using this by adding it in style like below:

<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src: url('assets/fonts/FreeSans.ttf');
font-family: FreeSans;
}
</mx:Style>

While compiling this msxml file i found the error below:

Unable to transcode assets/fonts/FreeSans.ttf

flex-building-error

Spent some time by changing some of the properties and looking into mxml file and ttf file but nothing was wrong, it seemed.

Googled and found the solution:

Right click on the Flex project -> Go to Flex Compiler -> Additional compiler arguments: add “-managers flash.fonts.AFEFontManager”. If there is some thing already written there separate it by space.

flex-builder

Try to compile again it will work.
