RE: [flexcoders] inline vs embedded fonts
Only difference I can see in the header font is that its bold. Otherwise it looks like its Verdana 10pt (maybe its 9pt but I dont think so). You can see the default styles by checking in mx/skins/halo/Default.as which you can find in the FlexForFlash.zip which came with your install.

Re: inline vs embedded fonts
Yes - it is - however the embeded font looks very different from the
inline font. I am using verdana.ttf from windows/font directory.
I have declared the font as:
mx:Style
@font-face { fontFamily:headerFont; src:url
(assets/verdana.ttf); }
/mx:Style
and using it like:
mx:Label id=line1 fontFamily=headerFont fontSize=10/

Re: inline vs embedded fonts
Looking at the manuals, I need to use embeded fonts if I want
rotation, however the drawbacks of embeded fonts as specified in the
manual are:
You can only embed TrueType fonts.
Embedded fonts increase the file size of your application, because
the document must contain font outlines for the text. This can
result in longer download times for your users.
Embedded fonts decrease legibility of the text at sizes below 10
points. All embedded fonts use anti-aliasing to render the font
information on the client screen. As a result, fonts may look
fuzzy or illegible at small sizes.
You can only specify a single fontFamily style property when
embedding fonts. Flex does not support a list of embedded fonts.
So I may be stuck with the poor quality of text that I am
observing. This just doesnt sound like an acceptable solution.
Anyone had more luck than me ?
