So my current page is published using dynamic text/anti alias for animation. I know it’s abit fuzzy and not as vector looking as anti alias for readability but every time I try to implement it, it stretches the font very slightly, losing the original look of the font and I’m emedding the font and using a font symbol in the library. Seems to make the font taller and the kerning a bit wider…

Is there anyway to format the height or look of the text in action script when anti alias for readibility is on? I also tried using html text and I got no results really. Thanks for reading.
