It works for me. Here an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical">
<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src: local("Arial");
fontFamily: myFontFamily;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
@font-face {
src: local("Arial");
fontFamily: myFontFamily;
fontWeight: bold;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
@font-face {
src: local("Arial");
fontFamily: myFontFamily;
fontWeight: bold;
fontStyle: italic;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
</mx:Style>
<mx:Label text="Sample Text" fontSize="32" />
<mx:Label text="Sample Text" fontSize="32" fontFamily="myFontFamily"
scaleX="0.7"/>
<mx:Label text="Sample Text" fontSize="32" fontFamily="myFontFamily"
fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic"/>
<mx:Label text="Sample Text" fontSize="32" fontFamily="myFontFamily"
fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic" scaleX="0.7"/>
</mx:Application>
