I have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files’ content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn’t work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

Thanks for your help!
