Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do any further analysis. Please file a bug with your test cases.
Font rendering is sensitive to variances in how the font is described vs what the glyph data actually dictates. Common fonts shouldn't have this problem, but you never know. There are several rendering adjustments you can make like antiAliasType and gridFitType. Maybe those will help. -Alex ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of renzeullo Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 8:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Embedded Fonts and Text Alignment problem in Text control Hi Alex, Thank you very much for the help. Yes, there was a reflow when the textField.width is adjusted. Please check the images below for reference. I also tried it using different fonts. First image is using regular mx:Text, second image is using the modified code adding 10 to textField.width. Also, notice that some of the truncated text has bits of the truncated parts separated from them and gets rendered a few pixels to the right of the border, but its still not the entirety of the truncated parts.

But I also noticed a highlighting problem that happens with Verdana nonetheless. Screenshot is found below. It seems that I cannot fully highlight the last character on the line if it reaches the border. In the picture, I highlighted "ation of classes, one", but only half of the "e" in "one" is highlighted. If I copy and paste the text into notepad, it only pastes "ation of classes, on". Highlighting problem http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/ernieldiaz/highlight_problem.jpg <http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k155/ernieldiaz/highlight_problem.jpg > The highlighting problem is not observed when using Courier New. Do you think the problem is with the calculation of textField.textWidth? Any way to solve it? Thanks in advance.
