Try scaling only in one direction (X or Y) and you will see that it doesn't work. However it does with embedded fonts. I think scaling in both directions with the same value makes flex use another font size, but "real" scaling only can be applied to embedded fonts. Anyway, this limitation will be removed in Flex 4 (Gumbo) and we will be able to do what we want with text without the need to embed any fonts :)
