I started using 5.5 today, from CS3. I have a routine that loads a font from an SWF. It was working great in CS3. In CS5.5 the font loads but doesn’t appear. If I remove the “.embedFonts = true” statement from the TextField, the font shows up but it’s bold. If I try and use a different font, it comes up as a serif font.
