Hi All,

I’m sure you are tired of blurry text questions…

I’ve seen some tricks to keep fonts sharp. Such as:

1. Move textbox to full integer pixels
2. Change the alpha to 97%
3. Use pixel fonts
4. Convert text to shapes

My question is I can keep the font nice and sharp when the text box is on the stage, however, when I save it as a mc the x/y dims are different in the mc. Do you change the mc x/y dims to whole numbers as well? Any other tricks?
