Flash can use 2 types of fonts such that they can be changed at runtime by actionscript.

  • system fonts - NOT anti-aliased so renders fast
  • embedded fonts - anti-aliased so renders slow

The problem with "system fonts" is that you can't rotate the text. Can I use embedded fonts AND turn off the anti-aliasing so it renders fast?

Do you mean setting the AntiAliasType ?

textField.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.NORMAL;

I think "Bitmap fonts" is what I'm looking for.
