Hi Kerry,
I think this is one that gave me headaches a while ago...
My solution was to apply the textFormat AFTER the text has been applied
to the textField.

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?

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.

PS:
I meant this:
var font:Font = new Garamond3Embedded() as Font;
textFormat.font = font.fontName;

No, I think you're right. I've tried it with the exact same name, with
the same results.

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
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

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

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,

I hear you. The way flash handles fonts is a royal mess.
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

If nothing else works and you're in a hurry, maybe this is worth a try.
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

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!
