Text/Fonts render differently when sent to the printer than when viewed on screen, this is a real PAIN when formatting display objects to send to the printer.
I've added a few Text controls to to a vbox with variable length data, some have custom font formatting, ALL installed fonts, even tested with embedded fonts. The width of the text box is 100%, which fills to the width of the vbox, and the height is not set, so it grows to show all text. Works great.. except when sent to the printer. When I send these text controls to the print job.addObject and set scale type to show all, the text breaks at different points and does NOT render the same as seen on screen. If the text happens to render a bit wider, teh font could go to the next line and therefore NOT print. I JUST WANT THE Text DISPLAY OBJECT to print on the printer in the exact format/rendering as seen on screen... is this not possible. I think when you send this text control to the printer, flash trys to get smart and not render the text as an image but as text... which changes some line breaks and such... this is really annoying. Not sure how to solf this issue... just want all my text to print. Any help would be appreciated. I posted this same issue in another post... not sure it was clear as to what my problem is.
