Fonts Mangled In Flash CC

I am also having this problem with the leading magically changing on me. A while ago, I first noticed that some of my text was not positioned properly vertically, so I went and changed the textfield's y value to put it where it was supposed to be. Then a few weeks later, it was too far in the other direction, so I changed it back to how it originally was. Now it has gone to the wrong position again and I don't know what is triggering the changes. Is there a way to know what I need to set the leading to to fix it, or do I just have to eyeball it?

EDIT: I tried the thing where I put a textfield on frame 1 and when I tested the movie, it worked. Then I deleted the textfield and the leading was still correct.

I am experiencing this problem (disappearance of embedded fonts when published). Creating invisible text on the stage and applying the embedded font to it does not fix the problem. Has there been any further movement on resolving this?

I have a similar problem.  I replaced the font in it with a font from an external library - and then the line spacing went haywire. I have a separate movieclip where I used the external embedded fonts from the start which is fine. The workaround mentioned is not working for me.

As soon as I uncheck "import for runtime sharing" for the externally embedded font, the leading issues disappear.

this worked for me: 

  var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

  tf.leading = -70;

  this.flashTextField.defaultTextFormat = tf;

  this.flashTextField.text = 'this text appeared with correct leading';

This thread doesn't specifically recommend a fix that works in all cases. I am unsure how adding a textfield to frame one has helped others but it has not helped me (for example do you have to still set leading to some silly number such as "-50" for the font to display correctly?). In my case Arial is rendering correctly but another Font is not. When I use both in the same textfield (classic text field) the leading is different for the two. There doesn't appear to be a way to specify leading inline with HTML within the font tag so I am stuck. If there is a way around the problem in the case of multiple fonts in the same field, please let me know!

This bug needs to get fixed!

Simple way to recreate the bug:

import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.text.TextFormat;

import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

var tf : TextFormat;

var tb1 : TextField;

var tb2 : TextField;

tf = new TextFormat();

tf.font     = "Arial";

tf.color     = 0x000000;

tf.size      = 20;

function makeTb( txt : String ) : TextField {

    var tb : TextField = new TextField();

        tb = new TextField();

        tb.multiline             = false;

        tb.selectable             = false;

        tb.defaultTextFormat     = tf;

        tb.autoSize             = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

        tb.mouseWheelEnabled     = false;

        tb.antiAliasType         = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;

        tb.embedFonts             = true;

        tb.border                 = true;

        tb.borderColor             = 0xff00ff;

        tb.condenseWhite         = true;

        tb.text                    = txt;

    return tb;

}

tb1 = makeTb( "how the bug looks" );

tb2 = makeTb( "how it should be" );

tb2.embedFonts = false;

tb2.x = 200;

addChild( tb1 );

addChild( tb2 );

i don't see a problem.

create a new fla in cs6 add the minimum needed to exhibit the problem then post your results.
