Embed the fonts in your textfields. Anytime you have text issues, first be sure to embed the fonts in the textfields.

how would go about embedding the fonts with what i have there ?

It appears the textfield is not being added dynamically, so for what you have there, go to the stage and select the textfield and in the Properties panel for the textfield select the option to Embed the font. Then select the font and the character set(s) you expect to be included in the textfield.
