Stacy,   What do you think the default sharpness should be?   Joan   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Stacy Young Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 10:43 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] embeded FlashType fonts look bad   They are offset a few pixels but I also found the default sharpness level was way too low.   -Stace   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Vinny Timmermans Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 1:14 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] embeded FlashType fonts look bad   BTW.

I assume/hope it gets fixed when Flex 2.0.1 arrives.   Vinny   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of hank williams Sent: dinsdag 4 juli 2006 17:24 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] embeded 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.
