So I have this dynamic textfield I’m feeding from an utf8 encoded xml.

After each character with an accent I’m having weird issues with kerning letter spacing. It’s as if there was a space after each accented character

Something like this: Cronologí a instead of Cronología

I’m on a mac and I’m already using the trick of copying the textFormat, wirting the text, and then formatting with the original textFormat.

Any ideas?

Thanks
