Thanks for the reply... however, why would fonts display correctly on screen and size the text box correctly but not print the same way it was rendered on screen? Must be luck of the draw on other fonts, because they do not produce the same bahavior when printing.
Embeding Verdana using [Embed(systemFont='Verdana', fontName='Verdana', mimeType='application/x-font')] Does fix the problem of the last line not printined correctly but then anywhere else in my app this embeded font "shadows" the system font and print outs are very poor quality and all other labels/buttons using Verdana are very fuzzy... I'll keep digging into my font issues, there must be a correct way of handling this. --Scott --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, John Mark Hawley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In order for Flash to know how much room it needs to print an autosized text field, the font must be embedded.
