Text Hinting
In Director 11.5, text cast members have a new property: hinting.
Hinting uses mathematical instructions to adjust the display of an outline font, such that it is aligned with a rasterized grid. Hinting ensures that text is clear and legible for human readers at small screen sizes and low resolutions, with or without anti-aliasing. You can change this setting using the Text tab of the Property inspector, or by using the .hinting Lingo property.
Director provides different hinting options that you can use to optimize the display of text.
This property can take the following values:
- #Auto Uses the information in the font file for hinting. This value is used by default.
- #Algorithmic Uses the text engine for the hinting operation.
- #TVMode Symmetrizes characters horizontally and vertically and uses the text engine for hinting.
- #None Turns off hinting for the current cast member.
