Embedding Font in FB 4.7 AIR 3.9

Question

Hello,
Is there a different way to embed fonts with Air 3.9 or FB 4.7? I've recently upgrading and I am experience tempremental results with embedding fonts.
With FB 4.6 and Air 3.7 the following works fine -
[Embed(source="/assets/fonts/SEGOEUIL.TTF", fontName="Segoe UI Light", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
                    public static var EverydayFont:Class;
                                        var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
                                        var mainFont:Font = new EverydayFont();
                                        textFormat.font = mainFont.fontName;
                              var textfield:TextField = new TextField();
                              textfield.mouseEnabled = false;
                              textfield.selectable = false;
  textfield.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;
                              textfield.multiline = false;
                              textfield.border = true;
                              textfield.embedFonts = embedFont;
                              textfield.width = width;
  textfield.antiAliasType = antiAliasStyle;
                              textfield.htmlText = label;
However now with the latest versions the text box is just blank..??

Ok, I'm gonna give you the code that worked for me when I was working on a project back than, cause I also had a simillar, if not the same (can't remember), problem.
So here it goes:
[Embed(source="SuchFont.ttf", fontName="SuchFont", mimeType="application/x-font", embedAsCFF="true")]
public static var SuchFont:Class;
var font:Font = new SuchFont;
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(font.fontName, 20, 0xFFFFFF, true, null, null, null, null, TextAlign.LEFT);
awesomeText = new TextField;
awesomeText.defaultTextFormat = format;
awesomeText.embedFonts = true;
awesomeText.width = 158;
awesomeText.height = 56;
awesomeText.x = 106;
awesomeText.y = 420;
I think the trick is using embedAsCFF="true", but the issue here could be that you're using htmlText, have you tried with text?
