For the gridFitType property, you can use the following string values:
String value Description
"none" Specifies no grid fitting.
Horizontal and vertical lines
in the glyphs are not forced
to the pixel grid. This
setting is usually good for
animation or for large font
sizes.
"pixel" Specifies that strong
horizontal and vertical lines
are fit to the pixel grid. This
setting works only for leftaligned
text fields. To use
this setting, the
antiAliasType property of
the text field must be set to
"advanced". This setting
generally provides the best
legibility for left-aligned
text.
"subpixel" Specifies that strong
horizontal and vertical lines
are fit to the subpixel grid
on an LCD monitor. To use
this setting, the
antiAliasType property of
the text field must be set to
"advanced". The "subpixel"
setting is often good for
right-aligned or centered
dynamic text, and it is
sometimes a useful tradeoff
for animation versus
text quality.
