You need to have all versions of the font embedded -- bold, italic,
regular -- whatever versions you intend to use. You can create
"dummy" textfields offstage that are identical to the real textfield,
except don't give them an instance name and, for each one, select
bold or italic in that textfield's properties panel. Embed the fonts
in these just as you would for the "real" textfield. This will allow
Flash to display bold and italic. There may be a way to embed fonts
using textFormat or some other method, but I haven't played with it
enough to get it to work.

Html doesn't always render the bold versions of the fonts or italicized. I
think if you are using a non standard font - hence the embedding, I think
you may have better luck converting the html tags to a textFormat object
and apply it.
Someone else might totally disagree, but in the past,that is how I have
managed to get my text to the look the way i want it too. Wrestling with
text, one of the many joys.
