Embedded fonts not showing?

Question

I've embedded fonts in my swf for users. On my computer, which contains the font, it works locally and online as it shoud. However, on user's computers without the font it defaults to the device font, why? Isn't the font supposed to be embedded in the file? Thanks...

Using this global custom style
package com.rg.Misc{
// import classes
import flash.display.Sprite;
import fl.controls.listClasses.CellRenderer;
import fl.controls.ComboBox;
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
import fl.controls.TextInput;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
// initialize class
public class ComboCustomStyle extends Sprite{
  // formats
  private var upFormat:TextFormat;
  private var overFormat:TextFormat;
  // main constructor
  public function ComboCustomStyle() {
   upFormat = new TextFormat();
   upFormat.font = new DoctorSoos().fontName;
   upFormat.color = 0x666666;
   upFormat.size = 16;
   upFormat.letterSpacing = .5;
   StyleManager.setStyle("upFormat",upFormat);
   overFormat = new TextFormat();
   overFormat.font = new DoctorSoos().fontName;
   overFormat.color = 0x666666;
   overFormat.size = 16;
   overFormat.letterSpacing = .5;
   StyleManager.setStyle("overFormat",overFormat);
   StyleManager.setComponentStyle(ComboBox,"textFormat",StyleManager.getStyle("upFormat"));
   StyleManager.setComponentStyle(TextInput,"textFormat",StyleManager.getStyle("upFormat"));
   StyleManager.setComponentStyle(CellRenderer,"textFormat",StyleManager.getStyle("overForma t"));
