Hi everyone. I’m using a dynamic textfield with an arabic typeface (Jalal LT Light, properly embedded) and the characters are getting all bunched up. Has anyone had this problem or know anything about it? I tried setting the letterspacing to \> 0 but, while it does what it’s supposed to do, many characters are still bunched.

Thanks if anyone has any insight 🙂
