what flash version are you working with? CS5 or 5.5?
what type of 'template' is it? FB = Flex / Flash Buider?
i am not clear on that, and that could make a difference
IF you are in CS5 or 5.5, and
IF there is an actual textfield on the stage ( as opposed to created all in ActionScript), you can choose it, and in the properties panel look for Character, then Style. there should be an Embed button, which will let you embed the font and set or subset of the fonts characters you want and need.

i generally shy away from dealing with other people's templates. if they've been paid for their work, they should be able to give basic support for their product. Plus, without knowing or seeing how their file(s) are set up, just seeing the code alone would not necessarily show where such things as your 'Read More' link/pop up would be located.
feel free though to post the code, so that i ( and hopefully others too ) can have a look.
no promises of course...
