Flash cs4 text rendering difference
I haven’t been able to figure out why Flash 10 dynamic text seems to over-saturate the text. I’m not sure if that is the correct word, but here is an image to show the difference.
In the image below, the first set of text is Flash 9. The second set of text is Flash 10. In the Flash 10 text, you can see that the dynamic text is much thicker than Flash 10 static text, and much thicker than Flash 9 dynamic text.
Update: I figured out where the difference is important. If you haven’t set any character embedding for a dynamic text field, then you get this weird looking text, as soon as you embed character’s, it’s fixed.

Strange the only thing I can see is the slight difference in font names.
CS3: Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold
CS4: Helvetica Neue Bold Condensed
I remember using “Bold Condensed” on a XP rendered the text differently from “Condensed Bold” on OSX.
Nice shiny new blog, BTW.
oh yeah, i don’t know why that is either.
Was this issue ever resolved? I’m currently experiencing the same problem and would love to know if you found a solution? Please let me know, thank you.
Hey John, Yeah:
