I'll let the engineers let you know why this is happening. But, you can
get it to work with the following steps (hack):
1) Remove height="200" from the test Text control.
2) Add this function:
private function updateTextSize():void
{
test.invalidateSize();
}
3) On the ComboBox change event, execute callLater(updateTextSize);
Note: If you use embedded fonts, a boldface font must be available for
<b></b> to work.

Everything's fine. Now change to an embedded font, and note the
truncation and loss of formatting.

changing to another embedded font works fine but changing to a device
