Re: [Flashcoders] Weird Embeded Font Issue
Thanks. I think something is messed up with that specific font, but I'll try what you suggested too. On Mar 13, 2010, at 11:23 AM, Meinte van't Kruis wrote: odd, never seen anything like it.

Just make it dynamic, and if you want to be sure it embeds correctly, just embed the glyphs used in that textfield (that's what static textfield is supposed to do internally, but somehow it messes up in some cases) cheers, Meinte On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 11:29 AM, David Benman d...@dbenman.com wrote: I have an embeded font that renders really weird when published.

[Flashcoders] Weird Embeded Font Issue
I have an embeded font that renders really weird when published. I am using CS4 on the Mac and the font has been both embeded into a dynamic text field and used as the font face for a static field.
