I am currently maintaing a multi-linual app. It uses LoadVars.sendAndLoad() to populate dynamic fields with text appropriate to the user’s current language. It works fine, except in a few cases. Certain Cyrillic characters, as well as certain Latin characters (such as ł) appear with an extra space after them. I have not figured out a way around this. I am using embedded fonts, and am embedding all the appropriate characters.
I’ve tried using different fonts, and I get the same problem with the same characters across all fonts. If I use device fonts, there is no problem, but this would have to be a last resort, since I’d like to have antialiasing, etc available. I have trace()-d the strings and have confirmed that there’s no funny business going on with sendAndLoad(); the text is being properly downloaded.
Note that I am using Flash 8 targeting Flash 6, but targeting Flash 8 doesn’t fix the problem. I am wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or a similar one. It’s driving me crazy!
