Alos if it’s a pixel font you are using make sure it is set at rounded values else it will look fuzzy

e.g  
23 and not 23.3

Text not appearing in a case like this is almost always related to the type of font you are embedding. Some fonts you can only embed if “auto-kern” is unchecked. Some fonts I’ve had problems getting to embed at all, and had to use an alternative (I think some problem with flash and TTF or PS fonts, not sure which). Also if this doesn’t to be a dynamic text box, make it static text and that should avoid any problem. Or even break the text down until its only shapes.
