TextField Embed Problem

[jscarlip]

I've been looking over the internet for hours. I know there are different methods for embedding fonts, but this seems to be the simplest. It's documented so it should work... right?

import flash.text.*;

var menuFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
menuFormat.font = "Gilly";
//embedded a font through the library and named it "Gilly"
menuFormat.size = 10;
menuFormat.kerning = .5;


var menuText:TextField = new TextField();
menuText.text = "hi I'm a test";
menuText.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
menuText.embedFonts = true;
menuText.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
menuText.thickness = 250;
menuText.sharpness = -300;
menuText.mouseEnabled = false;
menuText.selectable = false;
menuText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
menuText.setTextFormat( menuFormat );

addChild( menuText );

Basically the font simply won't show

Oh, also I'm using Flash CS3 on Windows Vista. Maybe that means something.

None of you have any solutions? I've looked at other posts, some of them say that embedFonts simply doesn't work. Is this true?
