I have been trying to create a HTML Wrapper for my CMS, but the old TextField just cant do it.  
With the new much more versatile Flash Text Engine (I am not reffering to FTL), I have successfuly created the wrapper. However i have one problem.  
WHY new Flash Text Engine sometimes added a space between 2 characters? it makes the text ugly ![](http://forums.adobe.com/4.5.6/images/emoticons/sad.gif)

I have uploaded the image to prove my point  
Please Note : That the Left Side is the HTML Text Render (which correctly render all texts)

With KERNING set to “on” , check the word ‘underline’ and the word ‘paragraph’ (I have marked it with red circle)

With KERNING set to “off”, check the word ‘Text’ and the word ‘paragraph’ (I have marked it with red circle)

Now, is there any solution? hell, i should have turned ‘on’ the kerning right? but both turning ‘on’ and ‘off’ presents a problem of their own (in how they add a space randomly) ![](http://forums.adobe.com/4.5.6/images/emoticons/sad.gif)  
Any help will be greatly appreciated, or even a “you should look at Class X” will be enough (I am quite proficient in ActionScript 3.0)

Cheers and God Bless,
