I'm pretty sure that your problem with Button labels is not because of a font change, but, rather, a change in our default Button. In Flex 2, the styles paddingLeft, paddingRight, paddingTop and paddingBottom didn't work. So, Button had some hacky code to figure out how much spacing there was around Button labels. Depending on your label, the space around the label varied. In Flex 3, these padding styles now work and the default for paddingRight and paddingLeft is 10 pixels. As a result, for Buttons that had less space on the left and right of the label, the labels became truncated when migrating to Flex 3.
To fix this problem, you can change the styles of your Button to use a smaller value for paddingLeft and paddingRight. I wrote a bit about this migration issue here: http://butterfliesandbugs.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/understanding-flex-3-migration-issues-part-i/ Unrelated to these Button changes, we also updated the font engine used by our compiler. However, this change only changed fonts by a few pixels and should not have affected the components and their size very much. Internally, on our QA team, we had hundreds of bitmap test failures when we did this change, but, the font differences were all very minor (just a few pixels here and there) Joan --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 05:57:35PM -0000, dougco2000 wrote: > > > I switched to Flex3 the other day and found that the font sizing for > > the default font has changed!
