thanx for the advice … but it seems to be a little more complicated …

i already have checked this documents but it didn´t work out at all.

so the text looks okay until i change the properties/ character/all characters

only than the font is alised

so if anybody out there has another suggestion … i´m looking forward to.

hopefully

my suggestion is, never embed pixel font in this case.

well ive done it before and got it to work. so if i understand you correctly, you have a dynamic text field that loads an external txt file and you want it to display the pixel font in the text field. if this is what your trying to do then make sure your text field is set to size 8, you have “render txt as html” turned on too, and you have the characters selected that you want to embed. give your textbox a variable name like textbox, then in your txt file put "textbox= and then your text with all the html tags like face, size , color, etc. Give it a whirl and let me know if it works for you.

_edit_  
also make sure your textfield in flash is set to whole # co-ordinates like 34 and 56 instead of 34.3 and 56.7.
