I've been using the directions provided at
http://www.challenge-tv.com/putty/free-sifr/ to created sIFR2 and sIFR3 .swf
movies, but I've noticed something odd (read: not good) when I'm creating sIFR3
movies.
I created a sample .swf movie for sIFR2, and the result can be seen in the top
(h1) heading at:
http://lonestaraggie.org/sifr2/framdcn.html
(It's the out-of-the-box sIFR2 zip file, but with a custom .swf for the h1.)
I then created a sample .swf movie for sIFR3 using the same font, the result of
which (again for the h1 heading) is found here:
http://lonestaraggie.org/sifr3/demo/framdcn.html
(Again, it's the out-of-the-box sIFR3 nightly with a custom .swf for the h1.)
The exact same TTF (Tw Cent MT) font was used to create both of these, but for
the sIFR3 example, you'll notice that some of the characters (especially the
uppercase and lowercase 'o') are "corrupted" -- missing bits in some places,
extra bits in other places, definitely not nice and round! This behavior is not
limited to just this font; I've seen it in many, many others, but it always
seems to be limited to one of the "corners" of the corrupted character(s) --
upper left, upper right, lower left, and/or lower right, never the straight-up
top or bottom of the character. When creating sIFR2 movies using this
technique, the movies come out perfectly every time.
Wasn't sure if you'd seen (or heard of) this or anything like it. The sIFR
folks (on the support forum) think the "corruption" is a tool issue, and the
author of the tutorial was able to reproduce this corruption using his own
font(s) and suggested I ask you swfmill folks for help.
Any idea what's going on here? (Maybe some sort of math bug in swfmill with
sIFR3?)
Thanks,
