so I have a dynamic textbox, (yes it is set to exact pixels) I embeded the pixel fonts, right size, and the thing looks mainly ok, but some parts of the text are blurry…why? and, when I embed the fonts, does that mean someone who is surfing the site and does NOT have that font, will be able to see the text in THAT font? thx, m. ---

If your text is inside another object, that object must be on exact pixels as well. Yes, embedding the font will ensure that users who don’t have that font will be able to see the correct font for that text. ---

Can you post a link? or attach a file? Is the font a pixel font? and if it is is set to it’s correct size! I have some weired problems in the past with pixel fonts, setting them with a .3 sometimes works, don’t know why! Let me know! ---

I found this thread as result to a search and am having the same prob with a bunch of movieClips containing static text using pixel fonts. I have been changing the movieClip’s Y pos .1 at a time while testing it until everything looks better. EG - isn’t there an easier way to do this?? ---

Freddythunder, unfortunately no, MX doesn’t handle text very well. To be on the safe side, I always make sure all my movieclips are on exact pixels right from the start when I’m building my site. It’s way too much hassle to have everything done and then going back and adjusting things. ---

just to add some of my experience i alwasy put my window to 100% when placing textfields in my movie not sure why but that works also your width of the text box + your x coordinate of the text box should equal to a whole number lets say your width is 50.3 then your x coordinate should be lets say 34.7 the y coordinate should always be whole number these things have worked for me pretty well so hopefully they work for you ---

Yeah, that’s why I’m confused. I’m at full screen and when I started all of my movieClips AND dynamic text boxes were on whole numbers. They only appeared clear when I switched them to _off-pixel numbers_. That’s why I was asking - I’ll just play with it until it’s clear. This is what I’m doing: [http://www.freddythunder.com/md/navigation.swf](http://www.freddythunder.com/md/navigation.swf) Thanks for the answers though!!
