Thanks Glen! That did it! I was named "Myriad Pro Cond" This is the little snip of Actionscript that I used: http://snipplr.com/view/15835/list-registered-font-files/ And, Jason, it is an OTF font.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem embedding and using a font variant
Have you tried "enumerating" your embedded fonts to see what name Flash gives it? If you embed just your Myriad Pro Condensed into a document and add the actionscript to list out the font name, etc. http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=as3+enumerate+font You might find the system gives it a different name?

RE: [Flashcoders] Problem embedding and using a font variant
I have found every now and then certain fonts don't play well with Flash and there isn't much you can do if they don't work. There are a few fonts I have which simply don't embed, and the failure is silent.

Re: [Flashcoders] Problem embedding and using a font variant
Are you on a Mac? Apple did an update about 10 days ago that broke embedded fonts. If this is the cause of your woes, you'll need to roll back to 10.6.6, which is huge PITA. To roll back you need to first re-install the version of 10.6.x shipped with your machine, and then install the 10.6.6 update. See: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/896/cpsid_89637.html One other thing to note: If you use AS to overwrite the text in a TF, you have to use something like the following or you will lose Bold and Italics: tf.setNewTextFormat(tf.getTextFormat()); On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 1:24 PM, Matt Perkins wrote: > I'm using Myriad Pro for regular (non TLF) dynamic text fields in my project > and it's working fine.

[Flashcoders] Problem embedding and using a font variant
I'm using Myriad Pro for regular (non TLF) dynamic text fields in my project and it's working fine. Now the client wants to use "Myriad Pro Condensed Bold" for titles and I cannot get it to show up.
