I don't have Lucida Bright, but I used Lucida Sans and don't see any problems.

Following is a nice, minimal example that recreates this issue. It works with 2 different embedded fonts that I tried. advancedAntiAliasing did not make a difference. The labels have a striped appearance, which can be distracting. --Henry <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"> <mx:Style> @font-face { src: url('../bin- debug/assets/fonts/LucidaBright/LucidaBrightRegular.ttf'); fontFamily: lucidaBright; } global { fontFamily: lucidaBright; fontSize: 12; border: 1px; borderStyle: solid; color: white; } </mx:Style> <mx:VBox backgroundColor="#4e4e4e" backgroundAlpha="1" width="500" height="150"> <mx:Form> <mx:FormItem label="dummy checkbox"> <mx:CheckBox id="dummyCheckbox" label="hi there"/> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="item label text" color="white"> <mx:TextInput id="fiti" text="default text" backgroundColor="gray"/> </mx:FormItem> </mx:Form> </mx:VBox> </mx:Application> --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Alex Harui <aha...@...> wrote: > > 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.
