Create for example TextInput with fontFamily="TimesNewRoman",
fontSize="14". If you run the function TextInput.measureText
(" ").ascent on Mac the result will never be 14. On Windows - all
good.
It's problem with measureText function.
Try to run this is simple application on Mac and on Win and you will
see what I'm speeking about.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function showHeight():void
{
height1.text = String
(textInput1.measureText(textInput1.text).ascent);
height2.text = String
(textInput2.measureText(textInput1.text).ascent);
}

</mx:Script>
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:HBox>
<mx:TextInput id="textInput1" text="Test"
fontSize="10"/>
<mx:Spacer width="30"/>
<mx:Label text="Text height"/>
<mx:TextInput id="height1"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:HBox>
<mx:TextInput id="textInput2" text="Test"
fontFamily="TimesNewRoman" fontSize="10"/>
<mx:Spacer width="30"/>
<mx:Label text="Text height"/>
<mx:TextInput id="height2"/>
</mx:HBox>
<mx:Button label="Get height" click="showHeight()"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Application>
Anybody know how can fix this?
