using a specific Bold font in dynamic text
i'm using a font called "AGBookBQ-Regular" in a dynamic text box, which loads a text file. i understand that to include the bold and italic options, i have placed another text box just out of view off the stage with these two options selected.
italic works fine but the bold makes very little difference... it only stretches the font slightly.
i've searched for the answer to make a much bolder font and it seems you can use a specific bold font as the bold font.......
In the Library, choose 'New Font'. Select 'Arial Bold' from the 'Font'
drop-down (don't just select Arial and click the bold checkbox). Select the
newly added from from the Library, right-click and choose 'Linkage' from the
context menu, and click 'Export for ActionScript'. The Linkage field should
read eg 'Arial Bold'.
If you want to apply Arial Bold to an entire text field, select the field and,
in the Font drop-down in the Property Inspector, look for 'Arial Bold*' (with
an asterisk): this is the embedded version of Arial Bold that you just created.
So, you're using a specific Bold version of the font, not merely setting a
font to bold.
i've tried this, but nothing happens. i think i'm interpreting it correctly, but if someone could please confirm this works and perhaps explain it a little clearer (using my specific font names... "AGBookBQ-Regular" and "AGBookBQ-Medium" as the bold font), i'd really appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

I'm trying to figure this out too.

hi somniaGFX
still trying to figure out, but our event will be over soon. text just remains unbold (except for first event that isn't input text)...

would be useful to know for the future though.
