Sorry! My poor reading! The normal reason for such errors is that the name of the font (when using systemFont) does not exactly match the name your system thinks it should be. This can be complicated by font variants - you say you've already tried combinations of fontStyle, fontWeight etc. Have you tried those variants within the name? Could it be something like the name should be "Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk Bold" and you should have fontWeight set to bold?
Have you tried Font.enumerateFonts() to list what fonts your Flash Player thinks is available on your system, and what their names are?
