Can't get embedded font to work on Button

Question

I'm trying to use an embedded font in order to fade Panels as
well as the text in the Panels. I have the following code to set up
the embedding (using Edwardian Script so I can be sure the font
worked):
<mx:Style>
@font-face {
src:url("C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/ITCEDSCR.TTF");
fontFamily:myScript;
.scriptStyle {
fontFamily:myScript;
</mx:Style>
This works fine when I apply this style to Labels using the
styleName property, but when using it on a Button, I get a really
fuzzy/ugly text, as though the font didn't work and some bad
default were used, that didn't scale to the small size very well.
I've also tried directly setting fontFamily directly on the
Button control, rather than using the intermediary style
(scriptStyle).
Is there some restriction about using embedded fonts on
Buttons?

Hi,
I was just looking for answers to my own question when I
noticed this, which was giving me a problem earlier this week. I
found that the default text for a button is 'bold' so if you
haven't specified a bold embedded font, then it won't look good. I
just got around it by specifying a 'normal' fontweight for my
buttons.
I would imagine that, after all this time, you've probably
found the answer, but thought it might help anyone else who is a
couple of weeks behind me on the learning curve ...
