Embedding fonts in textFields

Question

I am trying to embed a font in my flex project that loads sprites within UI components
I load a series of swf files.  The first ones being a class that registers fonts
I have embedded each font in a separate class definition that extends FontAsset.
Each font is embedded this way
[Embed(    fontWeight="bold",
            fontName="_TRAJAN PRO",
            source="/../libs/fonts/TrajanPro-Bold.otf",
            advancedAntiAliasing="true",
            mimeType="application/x-font-truetype",
            embedAsCFF="false")]
    public class TrajanBold extends FontAsset
When its loaded I do Font.registerFont(loadedswf.trajanBoldClass) (trajanBold returning me the class TrajanBold)
when i look at all the registered fonts, _TRAJAN PRO is in the list, therefore it should be fine
Then, when i create a sprite in a UIComponent, i set the text format for all text fields to their embedded name (bold or regular, i have both embedded).
The font simply won't display, everything gets displayed as Times New Roman still.  I'm running out of options.  I've tried embedding using fx:Style @font-face, but that doesn't work either.
        static public function initializeFonts():void {
            _fontList = [];
            _fontList = Font.enumerateFonts();
        static public function setLocaleContainer(container:DisplayObjectContainer):void {
            if (_fontList == null)
                initializeFonts();
            var num:uint = container.numChildren;
            for (var i:uint = 0; i < num; i++) {
                var o:DisplayObject = container.getChildAt(i);
                if (o is TextField && (o as TextField).styleSheet == null) {
                    try {
                        var t:TextField = o as TextField
                        var f:TextFormat = t.defaultTextFormat;
                        var fontName:String = f.font;
                        var embedName:String = "_" + fontName.toUpperCase();
                         for each (var font:Font in _fontList) {
                            if (font.fontName.toUpperCase() == embedName) {
                                //var s:String = t.text;
                                f.font = font.fontName;
                                //t.embedFonts = true;
                                t.setTextFormat(f);
                                t.defaultTextFormat = f;
                                //t.text = s;
                                trace(t.name, embedName, "fontName: ", fontName, "new font", t.defaultTextFormat.font);
                                break;
                    } catch (e:Error) {
                        trace("couldn't embed font",    e.message);
                } else if (o is DisplayObjectContainer) {
                    setLocaleContainer(o as DisplayObjectContainer);
If i add the embed font = true line, then everything disappears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I used to have the fonts embedded within the text field.  But i just added the dynamic embedding of fonts to reduce file size and repetition for all my screens.

You set fontWeight="true" on the embed tag, but you didn't set bold=true on
the TextFormat.
