I don't see any obvious degradation, but I know folks much better eyes than I do. I think you are seeing the difference in rendering between device and embedded fonts and maybe also TextLine vs TextField.
There have been complaints in the past about embedded fonts looking more fuzzy or blurry compared to device fonts. I think it has to do with the glyph renderer getting too confident that it can render stems on half-pixels instead of messing with kerning to try to put stems on pixels. -Alex From: Mark Kessler <kesslerconsult...@gmail.com<mailto:kesslerconsult...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org>" <dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org>> Date: Friday, December 11, 2015 at 11:21 AM To: "dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org>" <dev@flex.apache.org<mailto:dev@flex.apache.org>> Subject: Re: mustella for charts Original baseline image: http://tinypic.com/r/245y5xe/9 Current Bad image: http://tinypic.com/r/f0nnd0/9 On Fri, Dec 11, 2015 at 2:02 PM, Mark Kessler <kesslerconsult...@gmail.com<mailto:kesslerconsult...@gmail.com>> wrote: I'll hold off then for now. But I can tell you the current fonts being shown in the baseline have a higher clarity than what the new baselines would show. I'll see if this example goes through. First is current, second is the new one.

I dont think so. I was wondering that myself. Somehow, the current chart baseline images are showing text, so one thing I was going to do was dig into it to see whether it was using TextLine or TextField. Maybe it is using TextLine with device fonts. Certainly, your changes caused subtle rendering differences and it might be useful to truly understand what the impact will be. If someone could use right-to-left text with TextLine and device fonts in Charts today, then replacing TextLine with TextField will break them. -Alex
