Embedded font not working in Spark Label control?

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to use embedded fonts with the Spark Label (formerly SimpleText) control. I'm using SDK 4 build 10485 now, but I could not manage it in Beta 1 neither.
I'v been playing with cff: true/false, embedAsCFF:true/false but no results.
I've added my test application where it does work with the Halo <mx:Label> control, but not with the Spark <s:Label> control.
So, no compiler errors, but the Spark label control shows a serif (Helvetia?) font where it should be sans as does the Halo control.
Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks
Jan
