Flash Player 10 introduced a new text system known as FTE (the 
flash.text.engine classes). It also continues to have the old TextField class. 
So there are basically two text systems, with their own ways of doing text 
formatting.

They have some formats in common, but each also has formats of its own. The 
fontSharpness and fontAntiAliasType formats are not part of FTE and therefore 
not supported by Spark components, which use FTE. Their closest relatives in 
FTE are renderingMode and cffHinting.

Subject: [flexcoders] flex 4 text styling



In the language reference, I see styles such as fontSharpness and 
fontAntiAliasType for Label, but I am not seeing them as styles for the spark 
Label or RichText. Are they no longer being used?
