I have just released an Open Source library which enables you to use resolution independent, hardware accelerated font rendering.

firetype reads and parses TrueType fonts using the OpenType file format, converts the characters into polygon objects and renders them via the GPU.

This technology has a couple of advantages over rendering texts as textures and might be useful for the use in Away3D.
