I’m writing a Pure AS3 app, embedding a font using the Embed metatag like so:

[Embed(source="assets/fonts.swf", fontName="AlternateGothic No2")]
public static const ALTERNATE_GOTHIC_2:Class;

This has always worked for me, but Alternate Gothic No. 2 gives me issues. In Flash, the font is labeled as AlternateGothic and the style is No2. I typically combine these with a space in between as the fontName, but it’s not working.

The font is Postscript Type 1, so I can’t embed the file and fontFamily, unless I spend $100+ on a font converter.

I also tried creating a font symbol, but that didn’t work either. Any ideas?

    FontExplorerX has the font labeled as AlternateGothic-No2, so I tried that and it worked.
