It seems that opentype (.otf) and truetype (.ttf) fonts have different
baselines, so when you insert them into an edittext object, you get
different positioning.
for example, this works fine:
.font helvetica "helvetica.otf"
.text text_1 size=23pt font=helvetica color=#004400 text="abcdefg"
.put text_1 x=67 y=10
.font georgia "georgia.ttf"
.text text_1 size=23pt font=georgia color=#004400 text="abcdefg"
.put text_1 x=67 y=10
It produces two overlapping pieces of text in different fonts at the same
position.
However this:
.font helvetica "helvetica.otf"
.edittext text_1 size=23pt font=helvetica color=#004400 text="abcdefg"
width=200 height=50
.put text_1 x=67 y=10
.font georgia "georgia.ttf"
.edittext text_1 size=23pt font=georgia color=#004400 text="abcdefg"
width=200 height=50
.put text_1 x=67 y=10
shows the two text objects offset vertically by some amount, and i can't
consistently calculate what that is.
I get the same result when using actionscript and creating a textfield
dynamically, so this isn't a bug in swfc, but I'd love to know if anyone
here has a workaround or solution.
Any ideas?
