I’ll start off by showing everybody what I’m working on: [http://goo.gl/ucCVQU](http://goo.gl/ucCVQU). It’s a fantasy football draft program. I’ve done most everything I want to, but one issue I’m having is with the list on the right. When I run the file on my computer, the list looks as it should, but on my fiance’s Mac, the font is different. I am using the font “TW Cen MT Condensed” for the list and in other spots as well. I can easily select the embedded font for the text boxes; for the list though, I have to set the font via ActionScript and a TextFormat. It seems that the list is trying to access the font locally on the machine, and if it’s not there, substituting. How do I get the TextFormat.font to point to the embedded version? I hope that makes sense… Thanks!
