D 8.5, Windows.
We have Comic Sans MS embedded in a movie. It works fine when we display it
#plain, but not #italic on Windows.
We're using this code to italicize some words:
pTextMember.char[startOfRange..endOfRange].fontStyle = #italic
It looks ok on the Mac, but on the PC, italicizing it makes a major
change--the font doesn't look like Comic Sans MS at all. It's smaller, and
several pixels below the other text, almost like subscript text.
The text is all antialiased. If I remove the antialiasing, the font lines
up better, and the size is ok, but the lines are much thinner than the
#plain style.
It looks like Comic Sans MS doesn't have an italic style built in--the
choices when you import it are plain and bold.
Somebody must have run into this before, though I can't find a reference to
it in the archives.
Any ideas?
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
