Hi all,

The issue I'm having is with a dynamic textfield in one of my load bars. This textfield needs to display numerals from 0 to 100, as well as the % character.

Now I've set the text field font property to "Officina Sans" and the style to "Book Italic", then I go into the character embedding menu and select the necessary characters to embed.

Now when I test it, for some reason the text field displays all the characters correctly in officina Sans, but without the italic style. The regular style for this font is just "book", but somehow changing it to "book italic" gets lost in the process.

Anyone know what's going on here? Is flash just getting confused here because the two styles "book italic" and "book" both start with the same word? Any other way to check/specify exactly which glyphs are embedded?

Update: I've fixed it. Indeed it was a problem with the Flash misinterpreting the font. I had to use Fontlab to re-export the font with the style changed to "italic" from "book italic" and it worked fine after that.
