I've just posted two files to help improve text rendering in Open
Laszlo 3.4 and lzr=swf8, using Flash Player 8 text rendering
features. What does it look like? Check it out here:
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/Image:Textsmoother_sample.png
A detailed description of the code and the code itself are on the wiki:
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/TextSmoother
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/Textsmoother.lzx
http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/Nicetext-test.lzx
One is textsmoother.lzx, which you can include inside the <canvas>
tag of an lzx file, and it will automagically turn on advanced font
rendering for all <text> objects with embedded fonts. The second file
is an example of using this drop-in. The example *must be run with
lzr=swf8*
If you just want the simplest improvement, just download
textsmoother.lzx, then include it as the first line inside your
canvas tag: <include href="textsmoother.lzx" />
Even better support for this feature is coming soon in Legals, and a
similar drop-in is coming soon for Open Laszlo 3.3. Let me know what
you think, and especially if you have any improvements to suggest.
