Bitmap text (no anti-alias)

It' possible in Actionscript 3 to use a font ("Munica
Regular", 8 -
http://pixelfonts.style-force.net/download/munica-regular/)
without antialiasing?
I've embedded the font:
@font-face {
src:local("Munica Regular"); // also valid
sr:url("MUNIRG__.TTF");
fontFamily: municaRegular;
then ,
tfHeader=new TextFormat();
tfHeader.font="municaRegular";
tfHeader.color=0xFFFFFF;
tfHeader.size=8;
var myText:TextField=new TextField();
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.defaultTextFormat=tfHeader;
myText.text="My embedded font";
All works well but the rendering appear so blurred (aliated).
I've tried with antiAliasType="advanced" and some value of
gridFitType, but nothing great.
It's possible to say "Use bitmap text and don't apply
antialiasing"? antiAliasEnabled=false?
Thanks

Can someone please help me with the above problem?
I've published two images to show what appen.
This it's the correct
one (without embedding font and with font installed in the client
machine).
This it's the wrong one
(with font embedded and not installed in the client machine).
I'm so sad... thanks

Library font Bitmap text (no anti-alias) Flash CS5

Ok, in previous version of flash we had this window:
But now in Flash CS5 the new font embedding window is changed, and there is no Bitmap text checkbox, so how am I to create dynamic Text Fields with ActionScript, and embed the fonts in them using Bitmap text [no anti-alias]? And don't give me the GridFitType.PIXEL solution, I want true Bitmap text.

Blurry Bitmap text (no anti-alias) on Button Symbols

Hello,
Can someone please explain when making a button symbol using
Arial then exporting as an .swf why the font exports blurry and not
sharp?
Thanks.

first, do you have alias text on or off in the property
window? second are you scaling the button, third are you scaling
the movie, fourth are you making sure the text exists at an integer
x and y location, sometimes texts looks funny when it's place at
1.1 pixels rather then 1.0, and fifth make sure your eye glass
proscription is still up to date! all these things could be
contributing to the blurring of the font.

PSD overlay menu: text in anti-alias ?

When creating a PSD overlay menu, should the character setting for anti-aliasing set to "none"? I read this in the User Manual, but the resulting text looks really ragged.

Hi.
Same problem here.
Changing font antialiasing from grayscale to rgba makes the text appear for me.
Just a tip till the problem gets fixed.
EDIT:
Just tried downgrading to Cairo-1.10.2-3. Works well with grayscale font antialias setting.

Blurry text using Bitmap text (pixelfont) alternative

I've placed a bitmap text (no anti-alias) inside a movieclip
and it looks crisp and clean when exported to swf.
Now I have dragged a copy of that movieclip on stage
and it becomes blurry/fuzzy as soon as I export it to swf
(the original is still clean/crisp)
Why is this happening and how do I solve the problem?
Thx for listening/AquaStealth

Do you use a pixelfont? Whats the font name? If you use
pixelfont it needs
to be placed at exact X-Y position (non-comma value)

Textfield properties - differences in Anti-alias

Can anyone explain what's the differences and usage of Anti-alias:
1) device fonts
2) bitmap-text
3) Anti-alias for animation
4) Anti-alias for readability

Anti-aliasing, basically, removes 'jaggies' and 'pixelation' by smoothing out vectors. So on things like text, which are vectors, the text looks smooth.
Device fonts uses the fonts of the users operating system and are not anti-aliased. So they will appear jagged and pixely. However people can take advantage of making sure characters (especially asian multi-byte) are available and do not need to be embedded into flash saving you lots of file size.
Anti-alias for animation is a less expensive, easier to render but softer looking version of anti-aliasing. Good for non-text vectors. They call it animation because it's easier on the processor to render.
Anti-alias for readability adds a contrast bump to edges making text look sharper, thus more readable.
The bitmap-text isn't vector. It saves the text as bitmaps and typically you'd only do this if you intend to use bitmaps. You choose the size of the font and then it's not really good to use alternate sizes for fonts other than what you select. This is useful for games who sometimes don't want the overhead of rendering the vectors for text. Instead the text is just a bitmap and is easier to render.

Pdf save as jpg and png looks pixelated like it doesn't anti-alias text

This has been an issue for a while and I can't figure out how to resolve it. When i open a pdf in acrobat 11.0.0 and click file/save as other/ i can't get the text to anti-alias, it always looks jagged no matter what settings i adjust.
I can bring the pdf into photoshop or illustrator and can export there but with multiple pages it is a bit absurd. any ideas?

thanks bill,
I'll try to do the updates, it is rather difficult to do when the creative cloud software thinks you are up to date.
I've tried everything from determine automatically and 72-600 dpi, adjusting the interlace and filter options. It happens regardless of the font - here are 2 more examples on a file created in illustrator, saved off as pdf and then jpg using default settings and png using default settings

Can you attach a sample of the problem you are addressing here. A psd would be fine.

Bitmap text show wrong accents

Hello,
I have this problem with text set to bitmap text rendering.
With fonts like pixel fonts like standard 07_51, Kroeger etc. I can't get them to show the right accents (éèà...).
This shows on stage and in runtime and it occurs with static, dynamic fields and input fields.
When I choose anti-aliasing then it's ok, but that isn't the purpose with those pixel fonts, right?
I've set the correct font-embedding settings.
I checked it on two computers with
Flash CS4 v10 on MacOS X 10.6.2, Belgian Keyboard, FontExplorer Pro for font management.
Any ideas?

Anti alias and Use device font not why is that not working?

I am editing a flash template that I have and I know
about the anti alias setting and I went through all the text boxes and set them to use device fonts and they all seem to b
e working except for the sliding text boxes, see attached images that show the sliding box (the gray color) and the text box behind it, when I drill down to the text box it is set to use device fonts already but when I enter my text it does not show all the letters (the W A and V for example are missing) I know that is caused by the Antialias setting but I am unable to find what is set to that in this sliding box, what am I missing? I am a very novice user so please be as detailed as you can in you answer, I can provide any information needed. Thank s in advance.
I am using CS10

I had the same issue. They say that because TRC Sri Lanka haven't registered IPad or apple as a safe product. That means the IMEI of apple products will not match with srilankan regulatory specifications. But this issue will be solved in near future. Please contact telecommunications and regulatory bord for details. Dialog axiata can't help.

Anti-alias

hi,
I use Preview to check pictures of insects (focus, etc...) and it's very hard to evaluate picture sharpness as long as an anti-alias algorithm is always activated : the picture is very sharp and half a second later is all "dithered".
Is there a possibility to deactivate this ?
I do not want to use software as Gimp or Photoshop : these softwares always open all the pictures selected in a new window and it's quite unusable with hundreds of 2000x3000 pics.

Hi again
I'm sorry. Bad use of terminology I suppose. What I meant by
"background shading" was to do the following:
Double click the text. When you do this, you get a dialog
very similar to what you see when you edit a caption.
Now, drag the mouse across all the text
EXCEPT the first letter. Here is where you will apply what I
mistakenly referred to as the "background shading". I meant to say
"highlight". I get confused becase all it affects is the background
shading behind the text that is selected. If it were a true
highlight, I would expect that if I applied yellow for instance, my
black letters would be a bit washed out, as the yellow was applied
over the top of the letters. Instead, it applies shading behind
them.
My question slide has a white background. So what I do is to
click the Highlight button to pop up the color picker. Then click
the More Colors... link.
As I said earlier, my background is white already. So I
choose a color that is extremely near white. The color mixer dialog
shows me RGB values of 255 each. All I do is change one of them to
254.
Click OK to dismiss all the dialogs and preview.
If yours behaves like mine (and if it doesn't, I'm not sure
why) you should notice the anti-aliasing stops.
Cheers... Rick

"Anti-alias" greyed out when free-transforming smart objects.

While resizing smart objects, I noticed that the anti-aliasing was very contrasting and not smooth enough for my purposes. I realized that if I rasterized the smart object before resizing, the anti-aliasing was better. I then noticed that there was a setting when free-transforming smart objects called "anti-alias." However, I am unable to activate it as it is greyed out. So, here's two questions:
1) Is there a way to make the anti-aliasing for smart objects the same as that of rasterized objects?
2) Is there a way to activate that "anti-alias" setting when free-transforming smart objects?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

On top of what Zeno Bokor wrote that while your doing the transform your viewing a quick scaled preview not the actual transformation you wrote
The SOs I'm talking about are bitmap images I made into SOs to be able to resize and edit without destructive changes, not imported vector graphics from AI.
You did not state how you made the bitmap images into smart object. If you just converted a layer you had been working on into a smart object some damage may have already been done to the bitmap image. You might get better results if you started out with a smart object layer to begin with by using ACR open as smart object option or by placing your camera jpeg images into your document as starting points.

Query regarding Bitmap Text

Hi,
Adobe has introduced the bitmap text option from flash 8.0
where we can specify the textfield with option ot Bitmap
text(no-alias). I would like to know the way the swf tag
DefineFont3 is written for bitmap text. After a bit of research i
have come to know that we are writing the entire shape of character
but I am not able to understand the way the Glyphtable is
generated.
Although the Flash 8.0 documentation says that it multiplies
the cordinates by 20 but I am still not able to understand.
Can anyone help me about how to write the bitmap text shapes
in the swf??? Thanks in advance.

Here is the code. And during debugging i am able to se the line breaks. I donno why.

Selecting Embedded Bitmap Text - Problem

I tried to create a Flash TextField, containing Text with
maximum sharpness.
So i embedded Verdana Font Size 8 as Bitmap Text, and set
sharpness and thickness to my benefits.
Now the Text ist displayed cleary, but if you try to select
or write into the text box it really suxs:
The Cursor position gets a higher distance to the text while
the text line gets larger.
Anyone know this problem, i searched this forum but i didnt
find a solution about this prob.

I assume you opened a new Gateway session after you have added that parameter and that you see it in the trace file....
There's a trial ODBC driver from DataDirect (www.datadirect.com) available for download and which you can test. Check if that driver works. If yes, make sure you have the latest ODBC driver release applied to your env that matches your configuration and if needed ask the ODBC vendor for help.

Anti-alias problems in .png

I have an image that is made up of three long narrow strips of colour that close to a point at one end. Those three strips are flipped and the points placed end to end so it's like a ribbon with one twist in it but in a straight line.
If I save for web as a .png the colors bleed into each other. It's only 12px high with each strip being 4px. If I turn off anti-alias the bleeding stops but the points of the ribbon look bad.
I am not sure what to do about that.
Martin

Probably nothing. This sounds perfectly normal. The only way to possibly avoid it would IMO be to construct each strip as a separate layer in PS, then apply selective color corrections near the tip to improve the perceived color blending...
