Hi,  
I am facing a problem while embedding font(Arial) in as3. Please check the attached fla. Here the text is “Press ▲+▼ to reset it to default.” But when I set testTF.embedFonts = true; up and down arrow is not shown in output. If you set the value to false, characters are shown.How can I solve this? I must use embed font, no way ☹ …Loking for your quick reply…
