First off let me say I did try creating an extra text field off of the main stage set to Bold, and it’s Verdana so I’m not exactly “selecting” a second font file all together to be embedded. Instead I am just setting the textfield property Bold to ON.

SO FAR I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but it does not want to go **Bold**. Aside from using Flex, which I know nothing about. Has anyone else ever had a problem similar to this?
