I hear you. The way flash handles fonts is a royal mess.
It must be. I went back to an earlier version that hadn't worked, and
now it's working.
Go figure. I rebooted Windows. Maybe that's all it needed.
But IT'S DONE! Yay!
Thanks for all the help, guys. If you're interested, here's what I
ended up with that works:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFieldType;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;
public class FontEmbedding extends Sprite
{
public function FontEmbedding()
{
registerFonts();
showText();
}
/**
* Embeds the plain Garamond 3 font - letters, numbers and
selected
unicode characters and punctuation.
*/
[Embed(
source='../fonts/GaramThrSC.ttf',
unicodeRange='U+0020-U+007E,U+00D7,U+00F7,U+03B1,U+0096,U+0096,U
+2212',
fontName='GaramondTheeEmbedded',
mimeType='application/x-font',
advancedAntiAliasing='true',
embedAsCFF='false'
)]
private static var GaramondTheeEmbedded: Class;
private function showText():void
{
var textFormat:TextFormat;
var textField:TextField;
textFormat = new TextFormat();
textFormat.color = 0x000000;
textFormat.font = "GaramondTheeEmbedded";
textField = new TextField();
textField.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
textField.border = (true);
textField.embedFonts = true;
textField.text = "Hello Client!";
textField.width = 100;
textField.height = 30;
addChild(textField);
textField.x = 100;
textField.y = 60;
}
/**

needs to

* It registers the embedded fonts and makes them available for
styling text in the application.

public static function registerFonts(): void
{
Font.registerFont(GaramondTheeEmbedded);
}
}
}
