Hi

I have to embed VAGRounded bold. I can’t seem to get it to work reliably. I have created 4 dynamic text boxes, one for each of the 4 styles and embedded the characters into each one for the 4 versions of the font. I then wrote some text directly into the boxes on the stage.

I created a 5th dynamic box and called it “test”. I set the family to VAG ROunded, style:bold (ie just like one of the ones above). I then embedded the characters into it.

I added this dead simple as2

```auto

stop();
test.text="hello"

```

THis 5th text box looks NOTHING like the bold one from above, as you can see in the attached image.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

E
