Spacing between characters, anyway...

Confirm the fix, and very pleased it's been fixed!

Committed. Nothing to do with kerning pairs, btw.

gnash "http://atlas.tagesschau.de/index12.swf?modus=&country=" -U http://atlas.tagesschau.de

has an example of text that doesn't work properly. It loads dynamically from XML and generally takes a while to load, but hover over a 'news' symbol when they appear to get text.

EM square size needs not be assumed, but encoded in the font class.

texttest.swf is the reduced version that I meant to attach.

The attached SWF shows that text is rendered vertically instead of horizontally. This is because the kerning (space between letters) is much too large, and because the textfield is narrow each letter gets a new line. (Change the width of the textfield to confirm).
