It depends a bit on your content and your use case.

If your content has no overrides on fontSize in the model you can simply adjust textFlow.fontSize, for example:

textFlow.fontSize = textFlow.computedFormat.fontSize + 2;

and then recompose.

If there are overrides to fontSIze on your paragraphs or spans you can loop through the LeafElements and adjust them all like this:

var leaf:FlowLeafElement = textFlow.getFirstLeaf();

while (leaf)

{

   leaf.fontSize = leaf.computedFormat.fontSize + 2;

   leaf = leaf.getNextLeaf();

}

and then recompose

Hi,

Please look at http://blogs.adobe.com/tlf/2008/11/ for font embedding (Note that the 'cff' transcoding paramter is called 'embedAsCFF' if you are using Flex Gumbo build 7972 or higher).

I don't know anything about StyleManager, but you can take a look at the SimpleEditorWithCSS example which shows how you can use styling in conjunction with TLF.

Hope that helps,

Abhishek
