Jay Wood commented on FLEX-27696:
---------------------------------
Observed the same problem with several "symbol" fonts (e.g., Bookshelf Symbol
7, Marlett, MT Extra, Symbol, Webdings, Wingdings) -- text with any of these
fonts specified is not rendered correctly in a Spark TextArea or
RichEditableText field when used in a browser-based application.It appears that
the text is being rendered in the default font (Times New Roman) instead of the
specified font.
The fonts display correctly in a Spark Label control, and also in TextArea or
RichEditableText when used in AIR desktop and mobile applications.
Problem is more pronounced on Windows than on Mac -- tested on Windows 7 in a
range of browsers (IE 11, Firefox, Chrome), and Mac OS X 10.9.5 (Safari,
Firefox, Chrome browsers). Using Flex SDK 4.6.0.23201, with AIR 15 SDK).
> Webdings font not working in Flex 4.1 & AIR SDK 2.0
