Try embedding verdana to see if you're having this problem with all fonts or just Helvetica.
Your code looks right. When you made the adjustment, did the text reflow and cut off different characters? Maybe you can post a simple test case. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of renzeullo Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 12:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Embedded Fonts and Text Alignment problem in Text control Hi Alex, The truncated text looks like this: http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/ernieldiaz/embedded_font_truncati on.jpg <http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/ernieldiaz/embedded_font_truncat ion.jpg> The text uses an embedded Helvetica font. The first paragraph is left aligned and is rendered correctly. The succeeding paragraphs are centered, right aligned, and justified. They have problems when the text reaches the right border. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Renz --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "renzeullo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Alex, > > Thanks for the reply.
