This is a bmp of the flex flashType rendering. Couldnt get googlepages to take the swf but you can see how bad it is.http://hank777.googlepages.com/examples

BTW. They should not look
"muddy", but Flex moves them a few pixels.?

Hank,


 


This is a known issue. A
number of people have brought these issues with FlashType to the attention
of the Flex team. I assume/hope it gets fixed when Flex 2.0.1 arrives.

FlashType fonts look bad







I am
trying to use flashtype fonts, which involves embedding the font in a swf and
then importing the font from a swf into flex. The problem is that flex seems to
be rendering these fonts much less well than flash does.

As a test, I have text in the swf that I am embedding. The text looks fine when
displayed in this swf. When I import the font and display it in my app, the
font looks really muddy. It looks as if it is not using all that cool font
rendering stuff that is in flash 8. The edges are extremely soft. 

I am wondering if anyone has had any experience in getting crisp embedded
fonts. By the way I have been playing with fontAntiAliasType, fontGridType, and
fontSharpness with the idea that adjusting these might fix the problem, thought
nothing has had any effect. 

Hank
