Re: [flexcoders] Are there any good flash fonts that will work well in flex

I have experimented extensively with fonts in flash 8 and in flex and while they look better than flash 7, there is nothing like pixel fonts for interface. Of course also probably a lot is dependent on the specific true type font. I would imagine that some work better than others, but I am not satisfied with what I have been seeing, hence the desire for some crispness. By the way, I dont think advanced anit-alias works on device fonts, only embedded.

But thanks for the font references. Have you tried any of these in flex?

Regards

Keep in mind Flash Player 9 supports Flash Player 8's new Saffron font engine.  So, if you embed the font in your CSS, you can use the mofo, and she'll look hot.  Don't forget to turn advanced anti-aliasing on.  I believe Flex 2 utilizes _sans; which is basically Verdana (device font).  Anyone confirm / deny?
 
Here's some good fonts:
 
 
 
Careful... you can't buy just one...

One of the key things to defining an apps look and feel is fonts. But I find that truetype fonts just dont come out looking as good as flex's built in bitmap font. But I really dont want to look like every other application. In flash I know there are companies that sell great fonts, but I am wondering if anyone has anyone has any specific experience because working with some of the fonts I am familiar with you had to be careful to, for example, always specify one font size.

Anyway, any recomendations would be appreciated.

Hank
