anyone noticed ? clicking the link above

“converting fonts can be done using http://www.polygonal.de/doc/types/de/polygonal/graphics/text/util/EPSConvert.html”

Land on a 404 error page

I can’t reproduce this. Make sure you are using the latest FD version (former versions had some problems parsing swc files generated with HaXe).

there is a noticeable difference for big fonts. try this:

var font = new de.polygonal.gl.text.fonts.coreweb.Arial();
var vr = new VectorRenderer();
font.setRenderer(vr);
vr.setFillColor(0, 1);
vr.fillStart();
font.size = 200;
font.bezierThreshold = 0.01; //or 0.0
font.write(‘Hello, World’, 100, 200);
vr.fillEnd();
vr.flush(someGraphicsObject);

most of the time the visual difference is negligible, and setting the threshold to 0 improves performance.

I am unable to see any effect from using bezierThreshold. Is there something special to do in order to specify the threshold. Does it affect the rendering speed?

thanks but that reply didn’t help much :P

note: in flashdevelop, if one clicks the “+” button to collapse th contents of the SWC, it says “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”
