Hi Everyone

Has anyone ever encounter a problem when using “German characters” such as ä. The text is displayed in a funny way (aliased) while all the other text are anti aliased. This effects the whole line.

So for example if a text field contained the following…

aaaaä  
bbbbb  
ccccc

The first line will be aliased and the next two lines will be antialiased.

I’m using Flash MX 2004. I haven’t embedded the font however I’m sure the font exists on the Mac and supports the ä character. By the way I’m using the font type “Georgia”.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. PC have no problem with this “only” Macs.
