1. Create the embedded new font in your library.

2. Change your text field type from ‘Static’ to –> “Dynamic”
- you may have to resize some text fields
- make sure to choose “multi-line” if appropriate

3. Change font face for text field to the one your created in your library (it will have an asterisk * after the name ie. font*)

4. Click the “Embed” button on the property inspector. Choose the character sets you need embedded. (ie. A-Z, 0-9, etc).

That’s it.

Hope this helps anyone having similar problems,
J
