You're gonna have to debug through the part of UITextField that checks with the EmbeddedFontRegistry. You should see it find the font in the main app in your test app. What does it do for the actual app?

But can still confirm, without doing so on our application modules no text will display... I am stumped. In debugging the test case I can confirm that my module.moduleFactory does not reference the main applications SystemManager. I am concerned that my modules are not being initialized properly and that I could have additional (much harder to fix issues in the future). I don't mind fixing fonts by assigning the module.moduleFactory to the applications SystemManager but only if it is safe. If you have any ideas as to how I could identify why my modules are not initialized properly to use the embedded fonts it would be greatly appreciated. Are there any implications to setting the modules.moduleFactory to reference the main applications SystemManager?
