Make a new fla. Place a textfield on the stage and embed the fonts manually
in the Flash IDE. Put this text field inside a MovieClip and export it.
Publish this fla as a swc, add it to your FB project and somewhere do thi

Have you tried this method?

It should give you a list of the fonts that are being embbeded in the SWF
and their names. It'll not fix the pr

Well, I tried that too, and still no luck. Just in case it was a path
problem, I moved the font into the same folder as my .as file,
adjusted the source accordingly, and still no luck.

That looked promising, but I'm getting the same result--I can see the
text field outline on screen, but no text.

I think Chris's suggestion may be the trick.
I know I had that headache too and placing the format on after the
text loaded did the trick.
But I know with embedding the font, mine wouldnt work unless
everything was "Arial" with a cap A cause my font name was Arial.ttf.
go fig. only other thing

I haven't tried exactly that, but if I comment out the line
textField.embedFonts = true;
the text shows up. I believe you're right--Times New R

No, I think you're right. I've tried it with the exact same name, with
the same results.
PS:
I meant this:
var font:Font = new Garamond3Embedded() as Font;
textFormat.font = font.fontName;

Have you tried not setting the font name in the text format object? I think
it defaults to Times or something like that.
Then, if the text shows up, maybe the problem is in the font identifier.
You could then / also try this, which should give you the right name for the
font.
var font:Garamond3E
Correct me if I am wrong, but don't font embed references have to
match the names exactly?
case sensitive as well? What is on the stage, the font name and
library item name?
