Question

Bitmap text (no antialias)

I'm trying to apply a no-antialias on a TextFlow but result is not as clean as TextField. Any idea why?

I try to do this :

_textFlow.fontLookup = FontLookup.DEVICE;

_textFlow.renderingMode = RenderingMode.NORMAL;

the font is Arial so no need to embed and RenderingMode.CFF is useless in my case.

Can someone help me?

Thanks.

If you are rendering using device text, then the anti-alias settings from Flash aren't used, because Flash isn't rendering the text -- the OS is. Are you using Windows or Mac? What font are you trying to render? Do you know if its a TrueType font or a CFF font? If you are using Windows, do you have ClearType turned on?

Thanks,

Hi Robin, thanks for your answer,

I'm using Arial font on MAC and i don't embed this font as it's a system font.

I found a solution thanks to Grant Skinner : http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/03/bitmap_fonts_in.html

It was not a TextFlow problem but a Flash problem.

The other solution is to use a pixel font
