Your version of Flex may not allow a list of fontFamilies. How much lighter is the background? Do you have filters applied, alpha? I've seen slight changes (0xfefefe becomes 0xfdfdfd), but not much more than that. Try turning off advancedAntiAliasing.

If I use a system font like '_sans' this does not happen. Can anyone explain why this would be, or how I can fix this behavior? My css code: @font-face { src: url('/assets/fonts/MyriadWebPro/MyriadWebPro.ttf'); fontFamily: myriadWebPro; advancedAntiAliasing: true; } global { fontFamily: myriadWebPro; fontSize: 12; border: 1px; borderStyle: solid; advancedAntiAliasing: true; color: white; } I also observe that if I say fontFamily: myriadWebPro, it loads the myriadWebPro font, but if I say fontFamily: myriadWebPro, '_sans', it will load a default serif font instead. That seems very strange. --Henry
