You're right - now I'm stuck trying to implement same with a custom
font.
The font seems to have an emdash in Photoshop -- any idea why it's not
working in flex?
Going to examine the font in PopChar or FontBook

(which uses the default Verdana device font) and ran it on my
Windows machine. It displayed the two em-dashes.

Thanks Gordon.
I've tried both in a text area -- and it's not showing up --- I've
tried with embedded fonts as well as Helvetica, Verdana, etc --
they're not showing up -- can you tell me how I'm doing this wrong:
<mx:Text width="710" top="20" styleName="infoText"
selectable="false" fontSize="28">
<mx:text>

Hey - does anyone have any suggestions for getting an em-dash to
appear in flex? It's in the font -- but it's not showing.
I've tried —, — -- to no avail.
