Don't ask me for details, but just a week ago I got this running. [Embed(source="myfont.otf", fontFamily="myfont", mimeType="application/x-font-opentype")] public var MyFont : Class; To support otf, it is necessary to tell the compiler the a certain font manager is to use. I put it into my bu

Also, what is the font extension? I have found fonts with an .otf extension (like MyriadPro-Regular.otf) don't seem to embed with code. TTF fonts work for me though, could that be the issue? Also, in Flex (can't recall in the Flash framework off the top of my head), when you embed fonts, the

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. Jason Merrill Instructional Technology Architect Bank of America Global Learning

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 upd

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. I can't get just "Myriad Pro Condensed" to show either. I don't have any problems with "Myriad Pro"
