When you click on your textbox to select it there should be a button in the Properties panel that says “Character”. Click on it and you can embed the font outlines there. Also, if you are using a pixel font there are all sorts of rules you have to follow to make it work like the size has to be a multiple of 8 and the x y coordinates for where it’s placed on the stage can’t be a decimal - has to be an integer, stuff like that. If you are using a pixel font then do some searching in the forums or check the kirupa tutorials for all the details.
