I’m going insane over this…

```auto

var tfHeaderFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
with(tfHeaderFormat) {
	color	= 0xFFFFFF;
	font	= "MyriadHeader";
}

```

The MyriadHeader is the linkage name of a font I included in my library. Next I create a textfield and assign the following properties to it…

```auto

myHeader.autoSize = "left";
myHeader.embedFonts	= true;
myHeader.selectable	= false;
myHeader.text = "Whatever";
myHeader.setTextFormat(tfHeaderFormat);

```

The text shows in Myriad, but in aliased form. Is it at all possible to have a dynamically created textField with an embedded font anti-aliased? Please help me out… I feel like I’m about to die.
