Adobe has put up an API on Labs that makes use of the low level capabilities of the flash.text.engine package in Flash Player 10. Just downloaded and having a look at the examples. This is huge … Flash (meaning the player, and therefore Flex also) has sucked really badly at text for so long.
Now we have text flow, columnar layouts, proper inline graphic elements … and fine-grained control of pretty much everything about the fonts. Absolutely bloody amazing … Awesome.
