Hello!

I am having trouble rendering text that has html tags.  
I has to do with the font embedding options.  
I am passing a string to a field text variable (same thing happens for fieldname.htmlText) and here is what happens:

let’s keep it simple and say I pick Arial as my text field font.

1. If I don’t embed any font outlines for that text field, the text field displays the string correctly (with the html right formatting) since my system has Arial installed.

2. If I embed the font outlines:  
Uppercase  
Lowercase  
Numerals  
Punctuation  
Basic Latin  
Latin I  
Latin Extended A  
Latin Extended B  
Latin Extended Add’l  
the text field skips the text that is between html tags like \<b\>john\</b\>  
so for…\<b\>john\</b\>peterson… it only displays “peterson”.

Am I missing any gliphs or what??? I don’t get it.  
Any comments welcome. :d:
