Well, you saw my code, I see nothing wrong in it, but I could be
overlooking something. See the code below... it's not working for me.
You shouldn't have to embed if it's a system font though right?
TextField.getFontList() shows both Wingdings and Webdings on my system.
If I place this in a fresh .fla, it doesn't work - what's wrong with the
following code:
//This does not work, it defaults to Arial:
this.createTextField("test_txt", 1, 100, 100, 100, 100);
test_txt.html = true;
test_txt.htmlText = "Hello";
testFormat = new TextFormat();
testFormat.font = "Wingdings";
test_txt.setTextFormat(testFormat);
//This works:
this.createTextField("test_txt", 1, 100, 100, 100, 100);
test_txt.html = true;
test_txt.htmlText = "Hello";
testFormat = new TextFormat();
testFormat.font = "Trebuchet MS";
test_txt.setTextFormat(testFormat);
Even by creating a Wingdings font in the library called "Wingdings" and
using: test_txt.embedFonts = true; it shows nothing.

How would you do that? There is no mytextfield.font property. Only
TextFormat.font and TextField (class).getFontList() which shows all the
fonts on the user's system.
Thanks for your advice,
