You can't scale a font, but you can scale the component that the font is in by using scaleX and scaleY. However, this might not work in all cases because it will also scale other visual attributes of the component (such as a border). If you have this problem you are going to need to create (or subclass) your own component and scale the UITextField that renders the font and then set the width and height of the TextField to the desired size.

This may be an odd one and I know that you guys are going to respond that you shouldn't really do this in Flex considering that Flex applications are something different than Flash movies. :-) So here it goes: Has anyone figured out a way to scale fonts (text, either with embedded fonts or system fonts) in Flex? Can it be done, and if so, what's best practice? Rather than resizing the label, text, or text area containers, I need to actually scale the font size in the objects. Thanks, Jurgen
