Embedding fonts for dynamic text.

[jonnyG07]

Hi,

I am having a problem embedding the fonts for text which i have created dynamically. I am creating the text format and text field in a class file, then using a create Text function. I pass the create Text function all the attributes related to the text. In the the create Text function i also define other attributes such as selectable.
I have tried using embedFonts = true; However this then causes none of the text to appear.

Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

Thanks

what compiler are you using? flex or flash?

How are you naming the font in the text format? In the embed tag systemFont is the real name of the font and fontName is the name that you will refer to the font by in the code.
[Embed(mimeType='application/x-font',systemFont = 'trebuchet ms', fontName='myTrebuchet')]
var trebuchetFont:Class;

var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat;
fmt.font = "myTrebuchet";

var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.defaultTextFormat= fmt;
tf.embedFonts = true;
