OK, I also was reminded that you might need to bake a DataGridItemRenderer into the module with the font. I'll assume you have it working for now.

Especially the part about the problem only affecting certain button instances. Anyhow, I changed the font embeds from this: @font-face { src: url("assets/fonts/Gotham-Medium.otf"); fontFamily: "GothamMedium"; fontWeight: normal; } @font-face { src: url("assets/fonts/Gotham-Bold.otf"); fontFamily: "GothamBold"; fontWeight: bold; } to this: @font-face { src: url("assets/fonts/Gotham-Medium.otf"); fontFamily: "GothamMedium"; fontWeight: normal; } @font-face { src: url("assets/fonts/Gotham-Bold.otf"); fontFamily: "GothamMedium"; fontWeight: bold; } Ben On Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 8:20 AM, Ben Clinkinbeard <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: I suppose modules may not be the culprit but I've started suspecting them first lately based on my experiences with them thus far.

In theory, you shouldn't have gotten any text since the fontWeight didn't match up, so I feel like I don't have the whole story. Your custom selector had a "." In it? A reduced test case might help. The way I debug this stuff is to remove as many text displaying widgets from the UI, then break on validateNow in UITextField, check the parent to see if it is the one you want and follow its logic through for how it calculates its TextFormat and embedFonts. The rule for embedded fonts is that the code that calls new UITextField must be in the same SWF as the font. Flex 3 has a whole bunch of logic that should take care of that via moduleFactory and the embeddedFontRegistry. If the CSS is in a runtime CSS module, there might be a timing issue as to when the font becomes available and when the TextFields get re-factory'd. -Alex ________________________________ From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ] On Behalf Of Ben Clinkinbeard Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 8:08 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Embedded fonts + modules = weirdness I added fontWeight: normal and nothing changed.

And why would it work on one instance of the same button and not another? It is definitely related to being on a non-deferred tab because it only happens on the first tab, no matter how many there are.
