ItemRenderer changes.  Fixing some bugs with the autoDrawBackground flag.  Also making some PARB changes:
1.  IItemRenderer.index -> itemIndex (affects DefaultItemRenderer, ItemRenderer, and ButtonBarButton).
2.  GroupBase.renderBackgroundFill() (protected method) -> drawBackground() (mx_internal method)
3.  ItemRenderer.handleBackgroundFill -> autoDrawBackground
4.  Removed contentBackgroundColor from ItemRenderer
Also, DefaultItemRenderer is now no longer an MXML file, but it is an AS-only class that extends UIComponent.

Gordon, it looks like its been a while since you made this post.  Not sure how valid it is now...   I am particularly interested in the LigatureLevel.NONE value.  It seems that it is no longer supported.
How do I turn of ligatures in the font rendering?
My flex project involves trying to match the font rendering of Apache's Batik rendering of SVG and ligatures have been turned off in that codebase.  Is there any way (even roundabout) to turn ligatures off in flash?
Thanks,
Om
