embedding fonts in html text fields

[benonc]

Hi

Using MX2004 I found the following. If a put a textfield on the stage and set it to html and using the following as
textbox.htmlText = "<b>this is bold</b>"
it works fine

If a embed the font in the textfield the run the same AS the text dissapears?

What am I doing wrong and how can I get past this???

Thanks
Benon

What font are you using? Device fonts for example are not embedable.
( I gues yoiu wrote some html code as the code is not seen in your post ).

I am using verdana.

I have managed to solve the issue. All I did was put a normal "a", bold "b" and a italic "c" in the text box and now the bold and italic fonts show up. It seems flash only embeds bold and italic font outlines if they appear in the text box at compile time. Very wierd.
