Re: [flexcoders] embeded FlashType fonts look bad

Thanks. I will try that. I had intended to lighten the text anyway. Lighter text always looks better.HankOn 7/6/06, Brendan Meutzner <

Although it may not match your intended page styles, I've found that if you lighten the font color a bit (say #666666 instead of the default black) it does wonders for the embedded font display.  Makes them look a lot cleaner in my opinion.

No, this doesn't look expected. Have you
tried changing the fontSharpness style? 

 

By the way, what font are you using and
what is the size of the font. I'll try to simulate some similar behavior here.
Or, just send me a testfile and if it's a bug , I can log it.

Joan,

Did you look at the jpeg I posted?

Is this what should be expected in terms of the quality of the type or is there
a bug that explains this?

Stacy,

 

What do you think the default sharpness should be?

They are offset a few pixels but I also found the default
sharpness level was way too low.

BTW. They should not look "muddy", but Flex moves
them a few pixels.?

Hank,

 

This is a known issue. A number of people have brought these
issues with FlashType to the attention of the Flex team. I assume/hope it
gets fixed when Flex 2.0.1 arrives.

FlashType fonts look bad







I am
trying to use flashtype fonts, which involves embedding the font in a swf and
then importing the font from a swf into flex. The problem is that flex seems to
be rendering these fonts much less well than flash does.

As a test, I have text in the swf that I am embedding. The text looks fine when
displayed in this swf. When I import the font and display it in my app, the
font looks really muddy. It looks as if it is not using all that cool font
rendering stuff that is in flash 8. The edges are extremely soft. 

I am wondering if anyone has had any experience in getting crisp embedded
fonts. By the way I have been playing with fontAntiAliasType, fontGridType, and
fontSharpness with the idea that adjusting these might fix the problem, thought
nothing has had any effect. 

Hank
