Hi I hope this will be easy to answer question.

Below is a code with my example. If you zoom in you’ll notice that text is not as sharp as it is if you uncomment this line (txtFld.rotationZ = 90). Is there any way I can improve sharpness on font glyphs so after rotating they will look the same as before?

Regards  
Dave
