I have just posted the last 2 parts of a 3 part series (unless I come up with more parts) on:

I have created a very simple test and it works fine. Here it is: SimpleApp.mxml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns="*" creationComplete="initFont()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.styles.StyleManager; private function initFont():void { StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("comicsans.swf"); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label fontWeight="bold" text="Runtime CSS: Using Embedded fonts" fontSize="15" /> <mx:Panel title="Music Survey" > <mx:CheckBox label="I buy music from iTunes." /> <mx:CheckBox label="I buy CDs at an online store." /> <mx:CheckBox label="I buy CDs at a music store." /> <mx:CheckBox label="I download music illegally." /> <mx:Label text="other" /> <mx:TextInput /> </mx:Panel> </mx:Application> comicsans.css @font-face { src: url("assets/comic.ttf"); fontWeight: "normal"; fontFamily: "ComicSans"; } @font-face { src: url("assets/comicbd.ttf"); fontWeight: "bold"; fontFamily: "ComicSans"; } global { fontFamily: "ComicSans"; } What is the difference with your application and this simple one? Did you get any errors? How are you using they styles? Are they set globally, using Type selectors or class selectors? If you can show me a simple sample where it is not working, maybe I can help more.
