    Adobe Flash 10 beta tempts with type
    Friday, May 16, 2008
    Well, maybe one update. Adobe Labs have Flash 10 in beta, ready for your downloading amusement. Yes, there are whizz-bang-crash-sparkly-crap additions, and significant new cleverness such as colour management, GPU compositing and blitting, along with improved anti-aliasing. But here is the nice stuff: Text layout components and a new text engine that allows for proper client-side font integration (instead of embedding), right-to-left support, inline styles and images, columns, support for ligatures, support for tables, improved support for scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew and Thai, and a crystal goblet to remind you all not to go apeshit.
