The rule for fonts in Flex is that whatever TextField or subclass of TextFIeld (like DataGridItemRenderer) is displaying the font must be created in the module containing the font. I haven't used pureMVC so I don't know how it could break that. Most Flex components use a lookup scheme to figure out which moduleFactory to use. Others like Charts and DataGrid need to use ContextualClassFactory instead of the default ClassFactory. Could you have changed something in there?

(using puremvc) Is kind of thing normal? Any reason to why this would make one of my fonts disappear. I want to prevent accidents like this in the future, Link reports are next on my hit-list with this project.
