Unfortunately I am already using flashType. And it is better than just plain old direct truetype, but it still, I dont think, looks great for fonts used in the UI. But perhaps some fonts would look really good and I am just using fonts that dont work as well with flashtype. I am just looking for something that looks relatively crisp inside buttons and in other places where flex typically uses bitmap fonts. In regular flash I was able to buy bitmap fonts that looked great because they were hand rendered pixel fonts. And I suspect that is the best answer since that appears to be what adobe did with type for the UI in flex. I am just trying to find some alternate fonts that look as clean as what adobe uses.

You may want to take a look at FlashType fonts. These can be used in Flex 2 and display much better than normal fonts. The Flex 2 documentation has a chapter on how to use FlashType.

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