Cannot use styleName and fontStyle property together in Label?

Question

Hi All,
I am using Label component with the following attributes set,
see code 1)
but in my CSS I defined the style myStyle as below see code
2)
Here I am trying to use embed a font and use the style in the
Label.
I want the other styles to be given seperately like italic
and bold using "fontStyle" and "fontWeight" properties of a Label.
see code 3)
The problem here is that,
If I introduce any of these "myStyle" is not working. I mean
that the font which I embeded is not implemented. Its taking its
own default font. But If I remove fontStyle and fontWeight
"myStyle" is working properly.
I hope I had made my problem clear.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can actually change the CSS declaration itself. But I
think you will
also need to embed the other forms of the font if you want to
use them.
