I can't immediately see anything wrong with that - looks pretty
straightforward to me. Maybe someone else will spot something obvious!
But in the meantime, the only ideas I have are:
- Are you _sure_ the original .ttf isn't set to bold or italic under
the hood (even if it doesn't appear bold?). Try setting
fontWeight="bold" in the embed and the text format.
- Try setDefaultTextFormat(_mySilkscreenFormat) before setting the .text member.
- Does the original .ttf actually support lowercase? (It's not one of
these uppercase only pixel fonts?)
