I'm a little confused as to what your exact question is... Are you having trouble getting the bold and italic styles to display properly, or is it an issue of trying to achieve a preferred methodology?

But I can't quite see what the point is, when I still have to embed the font outlines to use them in dynamic text. What I want to achieve is a single swf that contains all the outlines I need, and then have small filesizes for the other swfs. That's the whole point of using shared assets. But I can't seem to find any working way to do this. Am I missing the whole idea? I've tried to use shared fonts quite a few times in the past and always come up blank.
