    'if you want pristine type w/full control - create your textfields from scratch with AS - you will have 100% control of everything from kerning to leading... anti-aliasing etc...

    I'd advise exporting whatever fonts you use via the library so they're available at runtime... you have a TON of options when you do these two things (exports fonts for runtime via the library & create textfields from scratch via a.s.)... most folks don't know you can even use multiple font faces in the same text field when you go the all-dynamic route. :) ''

    none of this stops flash from rendering certain fonts badly though.

    • that's where the custom-anti-alias come in handyFariska
    • you can custom anti-alias type that's dynamically created... my point was you have even more options via a.s...PonyBoy
    • ... but i agree... you can't get 'perfect' aliasing in Flash... this is just the 'best' route I've found.PonyBoy
