No, it happens in other scenarios as well. Here are some of the documented scenarios I've tested and the result (If further verbiage necessary, let me know)
Font Location (Embed Type) Control Location Result Application (ttf) Application Good Application (ttf) Application (SL) Good Application (swf) Application BAD Application (swf) Application (SL) BAD Application (ttf) Module (SL) BAD Application (swf) Module (SL) BAD Application using SL (ttf) Application BAD Application using SL (ttf) Application (SL) BAD Module (ttf) Module (SL) Not Embeded SL = shared library project ttf = font embeded in mxml from ttf file swf = font embeded with StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations or from swf file (generated by flex) Embedding the swf in mxml and using a font swf from flash are other variables I've played around with but haven't yet found the winning combination. This seems to work in some instances but not others (need to specify a font family on the TextArea control or goes blank with rotation) The more I play around with it, the more confused i get.
