Maybe you forgot to embed the font outlines Eilsoe. I have many pixel fonts on my system, so I can see it fine because I probably already have the font.

Did you remember to embed it?

Click on your textbox. Open the properties panel (CTRL+F3) click on the button that says “Character…” and then choose to embed font outlines for all characters.

Its your positioning or alignment of text.

Your textbox must be on exact pixels and be aligned to the left (not centered or to the right). If you use another aligment you may have to manually fiddle with the decimals of the positioning. It is a pain.

Oh god I hope macromedia fixes this soon…

also, there’s the problem of distorted images when importing… usually it either removes the bottom and right side (1px), or it stretches the images 1 px horizontally…

grr…

The images problem is something Macromedia has to fix. The pixel font problem is a problem that can never go away.

The reason pixel fonts are so crisp is because they fall on exact pixels. Since Flash is vector based, if something doesn’t fall on exact pixels it becomes anti-aliased, unlike in Photoshop where that doesn’t happen. This is not Macromedias fault, its just something Vector does.

Ok I’ve tried moving it around on exact pixels, and aligning it and all… doesn’t werk…

Can you post your .fla on your server so I can go grab it and take a look Eilsoe. You can PM me the link to it if you want.

Believe me, Ive had many a problem with Pixel Fonts, thats why I prefer Verdana. Almost Every OS comes with it installed so you don’t really need to embed it, and it stays crisp. Anywho… about that .fla 😉
