Notice if you just click the black button on the bottom (the submit button) it works swell, but if you actually type something in, the font comes out hideous. Looking at the source of the page shows Flash didn’t just send the text, it sent FONT SIZE= yadda yadda. I turned off rendering as HTML, tried embedding, different alias options… I have no idea what to do.
