My guess is that the mx:Text has a fontFamily of Myriad Pro so it is set up to display embedded fonts. All fonts used in htmlText must be embedded if the fontFamily on the component is embedded, and vice-versa.

However I did not understand the scenario. I don’t get how you use a RichTextEditor inside <mx:text> or what it means to “break the initialization” On 7/23/10 4:05 AM, "fotis.chatzinikos" <[email protected] <http://[email protected]> > wrote: Hi everybody, I have a RichTextEditor which I am trying to set its default Font Face size and color using the following CSS: RichTextEditor { textAreaStyleName: 'rteStyle'; } .rteStyle { font-size:26; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; } While this works, the htmlText output of the editor when used inside a <mx:text/> field displays ...

It now displays as the selected font "Myriad Pro" (an embeded font i am using), the font size to default 13 and the color to default white. Typing the first character inide it it fixes the defaults to 26, black... Changing from Myriad to Arial makes the htmlText of the Text field to disappear again... Plus Myriad disappears from the font selector ... Has anybody managed to use The richTextEditor ever? Am i doing something wrong?
