Ok fellow Kirupans, something I found out recently. Open up Flash if you want to try this. This is probably not new for some but I’m just curious.

**What:**

1. Make a **static** text box with the font of **verdana**.
2. View the Movie. Blurry and nasty right?
3. Now, go back to the static texts’ property panel and select **use device font** …
4. View the movie, it’s mad crispy!!

**Questions:**

1. What does the property **use device font** do?
2. Since the text is verdana and mostly all of the computers now have that as a default text will that affect anything?

- That’s like another way of crispy text! Does this mean that I can mask this text even though it’s crispy? (notice that it’s not possible to mask dynamic text)

- Thanks :beam:.
