This one is a very small one but one that may proove usefull to more than one 😉
I was recently playing around with flex, having fun fading in and out stuff when I realized that text components such as LABEL or TEXT where not very « fade friendly ». There was nothing special with my code, no special font or anything, so I googled a little and found out that you need to embed a font for it to be « fadable », event if it is a system font.
