It really shouldn't be up to people like you to document the behaviour of their software. Thanks a lot - immediate bookmark. Oh lordy – why don’t Adobe publish this stuff?

For different font weights of a font family, have you tried not including the fontStyle and fontWeight parameters in your embed tag? Still doing some more testing to confirm, but so far when using the Flex 4.0 SDK I've noticed that those parameters seem to be only used for system fonts. Also, I ran into <a href="http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=165106" rel="nofollow">this thread</a> recently. It suggests that OTF files with multiple weights will only work with system fonts. Which I think is a little strange because the <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7e09.html" rel="nofollow">Adobe documentation</a> suggests that this was only possible with the CFF font manager that was introduced with the Flex 4 SDK. Still worth a shot! Hi Karen,

The correct property name to embed a font as a Compact Font Format is embedAsCFF. Using cff as a property would yield the following compile time error using the Flex 4 SDK, "transcoding parameter 'cff' is not supported by 'flex2.compiler.media.FontTranscoder'."

I'm currently truing to get Helvetica Neue Light Standard CondesedOblique and BoldCondensed into Flex SDK 3.5, but with no luck! I'm not getting any errors. It is displaying the font, but looks like the light version. I've even added -managers flash.fonts.AFEFontManager to my compiler settings. Karen Hello,

Just what I needed :-) I was researching a lot about these font managers the last days, just to find out that the smaller opensource version of the flex sdk doesn't support opentype fonts.. Must have forgotten that in the last years without sdk updates.. Thanks for this property list. Just what I needed :-)
