A short while ago I was requested for some help dealing with font usage in Flash. More specifically, I was asked if it was possible to change the font of text in a text using ActionScript instead of having to modify the text field. After pouring over a few pages and sites on the Net, I found the solution in the language we have come to love/hate HTML.
