Re: [flexcoders] Fonts and localization
I’m not an expert in Asian fonts, but my understanding is that the TextLine font rendering, regardless of language, is trying to be more accurate in terms of proportions of character details, and attempts to use anti-aliasing and half-pixels to do it. Some folks think the old way looks better because it distorts the character details to fit things on pixel boundaries. But others prefer the new way. If you look at the screenshot in your original post you will see the size and shape of the “circular” portions of many characters is more elongated in the MX/old way. You would have to look at a print version of the font to see whether that shape is accurate or not. My guess is that it isn’t because it is distorted to fit on pixel boundaries and some people don’t like that because it makes the characters look like they do on an old stadium scoreboard. So it seems to be a trade-off, especially at smaller font sizes. On 4/11/12 1:36 PM, "michael_reg...@dell.com" wrote: Can you clarify something then?? I’m learning all of this.?

[flexcoders] Fonts in Flex Builder
Is it possible to configure the Flex Builder environment so that more fonts appear in the font drop-down in Design mode? Also when embedding fonts into a Flex application, how come Design mode doesn't display them? It does a nice job of displaying images - why not fonts?
