I would never have guessed you should embed Verdana before the other embedded fonts would work. This was really important to know. My RichTextEditor did exactly the same, so i embeded the verdana and the other fonts showed up correct. Thanks! @Chris

Make sure that if you embed a font, that every font used by the movie is embedded. Because if flex tries to use a font that is not embedded, Flex will automatically switch to using system fonts. IT WILL IGNORE YOUR EMBEDDED FONTS. In my project, I was embedding 2 non-system fonts. The Rich Text editor by default uses Verdana to display your text size, font, all the control components that belong to the Rich Text Editor... And since I didn't embed Verdana, Flex ignored my embedded fonts, and forced the movie to use Verdana. After I embedded the system font (Verdana) everything worked as expected.

Does anyone know how to apply this method to external true type, or open type embedded fonts? This method seems to only work with system fonts.
