spark TextArea not displaying embedded fonts

I can't seem to get TextArea to render any embedded fonts in project. I've searched online and have found a couple of instances of this issue but no solutions.

I have a few fonts embedded with my app. Spark Label & the mx:TextArea (switching embedAsCFF to 'false') will display them correctly so I know they're embedded OK. I have the fontFamily value in a binding but I even tried just instantiating a new TextArea then assigning one the the embedded fonts via the fontFamily style and have had no luck. Has anyone experienced this? 

/* In my CSS file  */
@font-face {
src:url("assets/fonts/UbuntuMono/UbuntuMono-Regular.ttf");
fontFamily: UbuntuMono;
embedAsCFF: true;
}


<!-- In my MXML -->
<s:TextArea fontFamily="UbuntuMono" text="TEST" fontSize="36"/>

<!-- TEST is just rendered as Verdana. Any suggestions? -->

This sounds odd. Have you tried with a different font to be sure to exclude the possibility it might be related to the font? - it might have to do with embedAsCFF being true and the font itself. – keyle
Yes my fonts are rendering just fine for Labels throughout the app. If I change the TextArea tag to Label in the same place, the text renders with the font just fine. – ChickensDontClap
1. Is your font only supporting BOLD? 2. can you try with smaller fontsize (12 for ex.) maybe it cannot be displayed because of size. – Adrian Pirvulescu
Its not a sizing issue. The same TextArea as an MX component displays as it should. I've tried getting this setup on two separate machines using Flex 4.6 SDK with no luck. – ChickensDontClap

According to Adobe guide here, Spark TextArea requires that fonts be embedded differently than the MX version. You can check more on it in this discussion.

For an alternate solution, you can also try this .

Re-created the project and all was well.
