Nice Jessie! Thanks for the tip! I was just getting started on my hours long process of digging into this and luckily your post is going to save me the time!

Thanks a lot for this….. I have been trying for hours as well! Flex sometimes feels like your banging your heag against a very hard wall.

Yeah, me too. You just saved my a BUNCH of time with this. Makes sense once you think about it, but would be nice if it were called out a bit more in the docs.

Thanks!

I’d like to share the code for embedding fonts for tabNavigator:

@font-face{
/* Note that this font doesn’t support bold */
src: url(”FG11004T.TTF”);
fontFamily: myFuturaMediumEmbed;

unicode-range:
U+0041-U+005A, /* Upper-Case A-Z */
U+0061-U+007A; /* Lower-Case a-z */

}

Button {

embedFonts: true;
fontWeight: normal;
fontFamily: myFuturaMediumEmbed;

}

TabBar {

firstButtonStyleName: “tabStyle1″;
tabStyleName: “tabStyle2″;
lastButtonStyleName: “tabStyle3″;
selectedTabTextStyleName: “mySelectedTabs”;

fontSize: 16px;

}
.tabStyle1 {

}
.tabStyle2 {

}
.tabStyle3 {

}
