[Flashcoders] Aliased text corruption problem
I love the anti-alias for readability text option in Flash 8 and try and use it all the time but its giving me odd results when I use it with the Futura typeface. What's happening is that the lower case w is becoming corrupted. You can see an example at http://www.joecutting.com/demos/aliasTest.html This only happens with antialias for readability if I choose anti-alias for animation its fine. It happens with both static and dynamic text. I also have two different versions of Futura - one Truetype and one Postscript and it happens with both of them but not with other typefaces. So, - Is this an artifact of the shape of the letter and this particular algorithm - I haven't tried using the custom aliasing settings because I don't really understand them. If anyone's got any suggestions that would be great. - Is is because I'm using badly made typefaces - although it seems unlikely that both the TT and PS ones would give the same problem. - Is this a bug in the text engine that I should tell Macrobe about? Anybody else had this or found a solution? Cheers Joe ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I get this with other fonts too...but it's more random - sometimes I get block artefacts as well.
