Maybe I’m doing it the old AS2 way.

I go to the library and choose New Font.

select Arial, check bold, size 12.

set the linkage up as “Arial12”

in as I have the embedfonts as true, and textformat I have format.font = “Arial12”;

This should work? Nothing shows up.  
I can work around this by placing a mc with a textfield that has embeddedfonts, in the library.

But i want to do it properly. Thanks
