Using fonts from server

Hi People,
I'm trying to make an application, where the user chooses a font name from a combo box and it changes their input text to the chosen font. I can make it work using formatText, but if the user doesn't have the font on their computer, it will substitute. Does anyone know a way of loading the fonts from the server instead of the user's computer?

This is the method i'm using at the moment:

//sets listener for lineOne text font
objComboListener = new Object();
objComboListener.change = function(eventObj){

//sets the swith function for lineOne font
var nIndex = Number(fontBox.selectedIndex);
switch (nIndex){
case 0: break;
case 1: lineOne_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineOne_fmt.font = "annifont";
lineOne_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineOne_fmt);break;
case 2: lineOne_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineOne_fmt.font = "arial";
lineOne_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineOne_fmt);break;
case 3: lineOne_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineOne_fmt.font = "air conditioner";
lineOne_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineOne_fmt);break;
}
}
//applies changes
fontBox.addEventListener("change", objComboListener);

while i'm here.... i'm also going to want the individual labels of the combo box to appear in their relevant font - I haven't tried this myself yet, so don't stress about it, but if anyone knows off the top of their heads......

Thanks,

Cool, Thanks!
I've got it working just fine now, but it's screwed up my bold & italic buttons!
This is particularly odd, when I'm using a very similar method to set the text colour - and that works fine?

I have this on frame one:

bold_btn.toggle = true;
var bold:Boolean = false

An this on the button:

on (press){
if (bold == true){
lineTwo_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineTwo_fmt.bold = false;
lineTwo_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineTwo_fmt);
bold = false;
}else{
lineTwo_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineTwo_fmt.bold = true;
lineTwo_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineTwo_fmt);
bold = true;
}
}

Any ideas?

Thanks,
