Bug with embedded font.

[MickaelKicker]

Hello,

I have a strange bug with the Cooper font (Std Black Italic)...

Here's what a multiline text looks like in the Flash editor:

Now here's how it looks like when I embed the font in a SWF file, then load it and use it from the AS3 code:

[what] is happening?!

Here are the line metrics values I get from getLineMetrics(0):

ascent : 51.2

descent : 51.2

height : 102.4

leading : 0

I tried reexporting the font, same problem. I also have the same problem when I export the scene from the editor and play it with Ctrl+Enter.

It ONLY looks good in the editor... I don't know what to do. I even reinstalled the font. 😕

Also, I have this problem with all the fonts... or at least all of the 5 different fonts I have tried.

is that static text?

The problem happens with both static and dynamic texts.

create a new as3 fla.

add your textfield with arial static text.  any problem?

if so, post a link to that fla.

No problem with Arial... Looks like it's only a problem I have with a few fonts.

It's very odd:

Top-left: Arial, static
Top-right: Cooper Black, static, from the font list

Middle-left: Cooper Black, static, embedded

Middle-right: Cooper Black, Dynamic (and resized), embedded

Down-left: Source Sans Pro Bold Italic, static, embedded

Down-right: Source Sans Pro Bold Italic, Dynamic (and resized), embedded

I finally fixed it by recreating the fla file from a Mac.

Looks like it's a Windows-related problem.
