This is a must read for all you flash developers.
One of the new features that fell under the radar for me was the custom anti-aliasing of fonts. The custom anti-alias feature allow you to control the thickness and sharpness of text within a text field. This feature can really be helpful for when type rendered by Flash appears blurry – something I run into quite often. During my playing around with this feature, I noticed that the thickness setting has a dramatic impact on the rendering of the type. I then came up with the idea that I could simulate the weights of a font family by changing the thickness of a textfield appropriately. For instance, if your Flash project uses three different weights (light, medium & bold), you can use one weight to simulate all three and cut your font embed size by two-thirds.
………………………..
As you can see, with faux font weights, the file size has been cut to roughly 18Kb and is almost identical to the real weights. The technique cut the font size by a factor of four – not too shabby.
