I am setting everything before I add the data. However I have sorted the
issue out by setting the global style. I don't think its optimal - but it
works.

Here is my working code for reference:

<code>
                        var tClass:Class        =
getDefinitionByName("GothamMedium") as Class;
                        Font.registerFont(tClass);
                        
                        var tf:TextFormat       = new TextFormat();
                                tf.font                 = "Gotham Medium";
                                tf.size                 = 12;
                                tf.bold                 = false;
                                
                        cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts" ,
true);
                        cmb_mc.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat" , tf);
                        cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("fontFamily" , "Gotham
Medium" );
                        cmb_mc.textField.setStyle("embedFonts" , true );
                        
                        dob_txt.embedFonts      = true;
                        dob_txt.setTextFormat(tf);
                        StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat" , tf)

</code>


Many thanks for all your help

Hi,

    Are you setting these values before or after you add the data?  That 
may have a bearing.  
   
    Have a look at this article:

    Which may / may not help?
