formatting text issue in Flash

Hi,

I have one text box set up in my flash document to read from an external file.  I set the text field's properties to the same as a static text field's properties on another page (Palatino Linotype 13pt).  However, the text looks different between the two text fields when viewing the movie. 

I set the dynamic text field to render HTML code, but I don't think that has anything to do with the problem I am having.

Any ideas what may be causing the formatting to appear differently between the static text field and dynamic text file that reads an external file would be appreciated.
