[flexcoders] Flex Fonts: How to implement the Bitmap text (no anti-alias) effect in Flex

2007-09-06 Thread polestar11
Hi there

Flash 8 and up provide an option in the property panel for textfields,
Bitmap text (no anti-alias). I can use this with embedded fonts to
get clear text without depending on the user having the font installed.

How do I do this with the Flex compiler? From what I can see, I can
only set which of the two anti-alias methods I want to use; I can't
seem to say 'don't anti-alias it, but use the embedded font please'!

I second that. This is really annoying thing in Flex. Sometimes I really 
want to use blur or fade effects on text and I cannot do this without 
embedded fonts.
It's not that embedded fonts are looking weird (though they are :P), the 
problem is coherence - when I use embedded fonts (antialiased) 
somewhere, I'm forced
to use it everywhere, to not break usability and not confuse user. And I 
really prefer those crisp, not-embedded look.

Please oh please, give us a way to turn antialiasing off.
