Text not appearing when fonts are embedded

I have a dynamic text field on my stage with the instance name of “yesno”. In the text box panel, (so not the code) I have it set to embed all the glyphs.

In my code I have the following:

yesno.text = "Incorrect. Try Again.";

but that text does not appear when the function that it’s in is used. If i do not embed any glyphs, it appears exactly as written.

I’ve done this in other animations and never had a problem with it. (in fact the yesno text field is copied directly from another fla)

Nothing looks different and my publication settings aren’t any different, any clue what’s going on?
