The key is that there must be code in the same SWF as the font that generates the class that will display the text (which might be from the module). This should be automatic for any Flex control, but if you're using itemrenderers and/or classFactories you'll probably need to use ContextualClassFactory instead.

Popup windows displayed from my module shell(main application) work fine. Searching the archive and web I have found much discussion in relation to ActionScript 2 but not much regarding Flex 3 other than this adobe bug(3.2 sdk) http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-18254 that has the same result (blank text), but in my testing my modules call to Font.enumerateFonts(false); does return my list of embedded fonts so I don't think the work around to register the fonts will help. Does anyone know how to allow a module to use fonts embedded in the main application in Flex 3.3? Do I have to register the embedded font when initializing each module? If my fonts are listed in Font.enumerateFonts(false) does that mean registration is already complete? Any help is much appreciated! Greg
