Problem Description
Fonts rendering pixelated and cut off with some Android devices using <newFontRenderingFromAPI>0</newFontRenderingFromAPI>.
Tested with latest AIR 51.3.1.3 cause before it cannot be fully used because of #1950 (comment)
Seems issue exists with some old Android versions and/or some devices. And cannot be observed only with some texts (not all). Seems pixels rounding or something.
"Problem" devices at least (maybe problem with "any old Android") :
- x96mini TV box with Android 7.1.2, armv7
- x96max TV box with Android 9, armv7
- H96 Pro TV box with Android 7.1.2, armv7
There is no such issue without <newFontRenderingFromAPI>0</newFontRenderingFromAPI> line in application manifest.
There is no such issues observed using Android 11, 15 devices (physical and emulators).
Also there is no such issues with other platforms.

Steps to Reproduce
Launch application with code below with some "problem" Android 7/9 device.
Application example with sources and screenshots attached.
android_newfontrenderingfromapi_cut_bug.zip
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
public class AndroidNewFontRenderingFromAPICutBug extends Sprite {
public function AndroidNewFontRenderingFromAPICutBug() {
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
}
private function init(e:Event):void {
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
var text:TextField = new TextField();;
text.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
const textTormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("_sans", 50);
text.defaultTextFormat = textTormat;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.stageFocusRect = false;
text.text = "Stat units accumulatedrr";
addChild(text);
}
}
}
Actual Result:
Text looks pixelated and last symbol cut off:

Expected Result:
Text not pixelated and last symbol not cut off:

Known Workarounds
Do not use <newFontRenderingFromAPI>0</newFontRenderingFromAPI> but in this case emoji cannot be displayed on old Android versions and also you will get this issue #967
