Issue with fonts and FDT, AIR 3.5, and ASC 2.0

I recently updated my AIR SDK to version 3.5 with ASC 2.0. When I did this I ran into issues on a project that was compiling fine before. The issue was that a specific font (that was embedded using the Embed meta tag) could not be encoded and the project would not compile. I needed this font to be in the project so I couldn't just do away with it. After I spent an hour or so searching the web, I started trying whatever. I happened to try setting the Use ASC 2.0 MXMLC Compiler. This did the trick. So I don't know if this is expected behavior, but it was very frustrating. I figured I would post about it so anyone else running into the same problem might find this post.
