Renz,
I took a look at the font you sent - and the metrics looks fine. I created a simple app; embedded font, text area and three paragraphs of "lorem ipsum." I was able to duplicate your findings easily with every font with all three justifications. I then ran a series of tests with some other fonts and found that even fixed width fonts had similar issues. It's much less pronounced - but it is still a problem. I then checked the Adobe bug-base and found a scad of entries that had to deal with embedded fonts getting cropped. https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15194 https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-2752 https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-3974 I think that this is one to turn over to Adobe. It's obvious that there is either a problem in the player or flex framework with character advancement calculation. The only way around this would be to intercept/override the width calculation of the text and add a 10px padding. and hope for the best. I apologize for the lack of 'good news.'

I have sent the misbehaving font to your email ([EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:rwinscot%40yahoo.com> , correct?). I am leaning towards believing that this is a problem with the width values that the fonts are passing to flex. I just don't have an idea on how to check on it. :( Thanks in advance.
