Sorry. I just embedded the image in the email. Not sure how to do it otherwise -- I'm new to this group.
No, I didn't know about the defaults.css file. I just looked and found that I too have Verdana specified. Now I'm really lost since thats the font I'm embedding. I also noticed there is an embedFonts: false line. Wonder what would happen if I change that..... --- In [email protected], "valdhor" <valdhorli...@...> wrote: > > I can't see the example (Maybe it will turn up later). > > Anyway, have you looked at the defaults.css file?

Unfortunately I din't know where to go from there. I don't really think the default font I'm seeing is _serif.

This make button labels and other things look off center. As far as I have seen this affects all embedded fonts and is due to the way they are anti aliased. There are a couple work arounds out on the web some involve changing the measure code, or simply moving the text component down by 1 pixel. But this happens in the compiled swf not just inside of Flex builder. > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "Warren" <warrenonyaho@> wrote: > > > > > > > > OK -- after some digging I think I know what's going on. I'm embedding Verdana font. I'm thinking the issue is that the vertical spacing in the font is different than the default font Flex Builder is using.

I used the CSS code (see below) to embed the fonts and make them global. Worked great except Builder went nuts. The Builder display doesn't look like the website. Elements are shifted about, text doesn't line up properly (for example, radio button text doesn't center on the radio icon), etc. It's a mess.
