Appling Ext. Embedded Fonts to Text

Question

Hi All,
I am spinning here. I believe I am missing the intermediate step of getting/creating a font obj to apply to the text format. The TLFTextField (instance name Label) was created on stage and has _typewriter font set. It is in movieclip instance mc and is rotated.
AS3 CS5 Player 10
The text is substituted but the Arial Unicode MS font is not applied.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.loading.SWFLoader;
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.Font;
var loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("Code/FontTLF.swf", {onComplete:completeHandler});
loader.load();
function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
var fontClass:Class = loader.getClass("FontClassName");
var fontArray:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(true);
var formatMC:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
for(var i:int = 0; i < fontArray.length; i++) {
var font:Font = fontArray[i];
if (font.fontName == "Arial Unicode MS") {
  trace("name: " + font.fontName);//name: Arial Unicode MS
  trace("typeface: " + font.fontStyle);//typeface: regular
formatMC.font = font.fontName;//I may need an intermediate step here??
  break;
trace (formatMC.font);//Arial Unicode MS
mc.Label.text = "New S"; // Rotated MC with text displays as Times s/b Arial...
mc.Label.defaultTextFormat = formatMC;
mc.Label.embedFonts = true;
Thanks,
Jim

Yes , I believe you are right but ... 
Here's a common TLFText example I am referencing.
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize; 
import flash.text.TextFormat;
var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.color = 0xFF0000; // red 
fmt.font = "Arial";  fmt.size = 32;
var tlfTxt:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
tlfTxt.defaultTextFormat = fmt;
tlfTxt.border = true;
tlfTxt.text = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
tlfTxt.wordWrap = true;
tlfTxt.width = 300;
tlfTxt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tlfTxt.x = tlfTxt.y = 40;
addChild(tlfTxt);
It also runs out sequence, but I am cleaning that up.
I am trying to use a method that allows me to use plain text strings w/o markup.
It a CD based captioned video player and uses a Director platform that has flash player 10.3 built in. 30 plus languages, some RTL and maybe a BiDi.
