[flexcoders] Missing characters in an embedded font

[Rick Schmitty]

I have 2 font files from a client, which of course means I cannot
share them.  They are TFF format, install on Mac and Windows fine and
I can see all characters fine in Word or Photoshop.  In Flex 4 I am
missing the m, N, U, W characters.  In Flex 3 it everyone appears OK.

Has anyone run into this before, am I missing something?  Example code below
