Hi All,

I have two helvetica fonts: Helvetica Neue LT Com 75 Bold and 55 Roman. I also have the same result with Helvetica Neue LT Pro 75 Bold (which is said to be CFF by linotype at http://www.linotype.com/45470/neuehelvetica75bold-font.html#format )

I cannot figure it out why the bold got vertical compression. Now it looks awful.

I use _textFlow.renderingMode = RenderingMode.CFF and _textFlow.fontLookup = FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF of course.

I have been tryting to figure it out the solution for three days without any success.

I also tried to embed the font into a CS5 TLF textfield, but it gets the same result.

As discusssed before, TLF is not directly responsible for font rendering business. There is nothing we can help. Maybe, you can ask the guys at the forum of flash player at: http://forums.adobe.com/community/webplayers/flash_player
