Thank you!
That's exactly what I was looking for. I guess I didn't get to the
point quick enough that I assumed that components were made with device
fonts which wasn't adequate if I wanted to use it behind a mask.
Since I was assuming that (and apparently I was right), I wanted to know
if and how I could change it. I'm not familiar with the Flex component
framework or the CS3 component framework well enough to know if Adobe
gave us access to any methods to actually change the properties of the
text field(s) in the components. Furthermore, I wouldn't have really
known where to look since this component architecture is new to me.
So excellent! I'll check these methods out to see if they can
accomplish what I want. Thanks very much.

Device fonts are not embedded fonts - if a font is embedded, then it
cannot be a device font. Components use device (not embedded) fonts by
default, but you can change font settings by using Button.setStyle(),
StyleManager.setComponentStyle() or StyleManager.setStyle(). Font
settings are controlled by the "textFormat" style and using embedded
fonts by "embedFonts" (the fonts should be not only referred as an
embedded, but be really embedded into the swf). See docs for details.
