embedFonts and htmlText. How?

I am reading some CDATA text from an XML file. This text has HTML tags in it.

I want to place this text into a dynamically created textfield that has embedFonts set to true. However, when I set this to true, the html formatting doesn’t work. Instead, I only see the text without any of the formating.

Now, when I comment out my embendFonts = true statement, the html formatting works, but I loose my linked, library font. (Since the font Futura is on my machine, it stil uses a jaggy (system?) version of it, I’m assuming this would be a problem on a different machine).

Is it possible to use embedFonts with htmlText? Am I calling this stuff in the wrong order?


            copyTformat.font = myFont.fontName;
            copyTformat.size = 18;            

            var tf:TextField = new TextField();
            tf.selectable = false;
            tf.mouseEnabled = false;
            tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            tf.multiline = true;
            tf.wordWrap = true;
            tf.width = 700;
            tf.defaultTextFormat = copyTformat;
            tf.embedFonts = true; // COMMENT THIS OUT, AND IT WORKS
            tf.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
            tf.htmlText = copy;
