For me, the font looks right although the console reports Times New Roman. Which version of TLF are you using?

I'm reading your blog and piecing out what might apply to me. It's pretty advanced stuff. The thing is the font is there - if I specify it directly in RichEditableText it shows up. What is the container doing to TextFlow that I am not, and how can I mimic that. I've introspected almost every property and function of TextFlow, FlowComposer, ContainerController, TextFlowLine and TextLine (I've been on this for many days now :). Judging by the output of textFlowLine.getTextLine().textBlock.dump(), TLF is just not aware/registering the font until after the container is rendered. If you are curious to see it work and fail side-by-side in a simplified compilable app, check out: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/480077/FlexTestTLF.zip If you run it, you will notice 4 RichEditableTextContainers. The first two use device fonts (Courier and Arial), and they are interpreted correctly. The trace of the dump() in the console shows this nicely. The third box, in red, is the problem. This box tries to employ an embeded font before the container is rendered, and if you look at the trace, it's not accepting the font and instead using the default Times New Roman. The fourth box is exactly the same as the third box, but solves the problem by applying the truncation at updateComplete, rather than on initialize. The trace shows the font to be correct as well. Do you think all this is related to contexts and multiple swfs as you describe in your blog? Thanks! What do you make of this? Is there a way to mimic what happens to textFlow on updateComplete but inside initialize?

Does it work if you turn off RSLs?
