Have you tried "enumerating" your embedded fonts to see what name Flash
gives it?
If you embed just your Myriad Pro Condensed into a document and add the
actionscript to list out the font name, etc.

You might find the system gives it a different name?

I'm using Myriad Pro for regular (non TLF) dynamic text fields in my project

Bold" for titles and I cannot get it to show up. I can't get just "Myriad
Pro Condensed" to show either. I don't have any problems with "Myriad Pro" -
I think the "condensed" variant/style is causing issues. I've checked over
and over that I have it embedded properly.
Looks like "Condensed Bold" is treated as a style like "bold" but there's no
way to set a style on a text format object.
I even tried setting the font style via html in the text content:
textfild.htmlText = "<font face='Myriad Pro Condensed'>"+mytext+"</font>";
Didn't work.
Any tips for using font variants like this? I'd rather keep doing it
dynamically like this and not have to create a textfield symbol in the
library to use (which would work). Also, this is an AS3/CS5 project.
The TLF TextLayoutFormat has a font style property, but not sure if it would
work - but the last time I tried to use TLF my FLA wouldn't compile because
of some error with my assets SWC and the TLF SWC. So I'd rather not go
there.
Maybe I can fake it by tweaking the scaleX property.
Thanks,
Matt
