Hey guys,  
Probably just a quick fix here, but this embedFonts is driving me nuts. When embedFonts is set to true the font disappears, however when it’s not set it’s visible. It’s a bitmap font too (Everyday).

The code is as follows atm:

```auto

var label:TextField = new TextField();
label.embedFonts = true;
label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
label.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
label.selectable = false;
label.defaultTextFormat = formatText();

```

the formatText() function is as follows:

```auto

private function formatText():TextFormat 
        {
            var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            format.font = "Everyday";
            format.color = 0x000000;
            format.size = 10;
            format.bold = false;
            return format;
        }

```

and I’m embedding the font with

```auto
[Embed(source="Everyday.ttf", fontFamily="Everyday")]

```

at the start of the class

Any tips?
