[flexcoders]Button text not centered vertically with embedded fonts

[dorkie dork from dorktown]

When I use embedded fonts on a button the text is aligned too high. I change
the font to a normal font and it is aligned correctly again. I am trying to
achieve a fix for this because the accordion header is a subclass of the
button class and this is where I'm having a problem.

<mx:Style>
       @font-face {
           src: local("Serpentine");
           fontFamily: menuHeaderFont;
           fontWeight: bold;
       }
   </mx:Style>

   <mx:Button label="COMPANY"
       icon="@Embed('images/Checkbox.png')"
       fontFamily="menuHeaderFont" fontSize="14"
       leading="-2"/>

I can set the leading to -2 but this is a hack and I'm not sure what it will
break. Anyone run across this?
