Hi,  
I’ve seen it seems to be a recurring problem to embed fonts, but I haven’t found a solution that works for me so far…  
Here is my embed, at the start of my Class :

```auto
[Embed(source="fonts/08_Underground.TTF",fontName="huit",mimeType = 'application/x-font')]
public static var font:Class;

```

Then, in my constructor :

```auto
            tf=new TextFormat();
            tf.color="0x557722";
            tf.size=33;
            tf.font="huit";
            var txt:TextField=new TextField();
            txt.width=500;
            txt.embedFonts=true;
            tf.font="huit";
            txt.setTextFormat(tf);
            txt.text="je teste...je teste...je teste...je teste...je teste...je teste...je teste...je teste...je teste...je teste...";
            txt.y=10;
            this._trigger.addChild(txt);

```

But nothing shows up. If I comment the embedFonts line, text does show up, but of course the font is not the one I wanted.  
If anyone can help ?  
Thanks,
