Best way to render font?

[Ben Smeets]

Hi, 

Just a small question regarding rendering of embedded fonts in Flex 4.9 
(earlier versions as well btw). When embedding e.g. Helvetica, fonts tend to 
get a lot more anti-aliasing and therefor look quite bold. Even in their 
"normal" weight.

Is there any best practice to keep fonts looking nice and sharp? Tried a lot of 
combinations already, but current am at:

@font-face { 
        src: url("assets/font/myfont.ttf");
        fontStyle: normal;
        fontWeight: normal;
        fontFamily: myfont;
        embedAsCFF: true; 
}

Is using a different type of fontfile e.g. better?

Thanks,

Ben
