Have you tried not setting the font name in the text format object? I think it defaults to Times or something like that.
Then, if the text shows up, maybe the problem is in the font identifier. You could then / also try this, which should give you the right name for the font. var font:Garamond3Embedded = new Garamond3Embedded(); textFormat.font = font.fontName; Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2010/9/22 Kerry Thompson <[email protected]> > I've been banging my head up against this for 4 hours, and the client > has to ship tonight. > > FlashBuilder 4, Windows 7. > > I am just trying to make a little demo of how to embed a font, but > when I pull together code that has worked before into one simple > class, it doesn't show the text.
