ok I understand if you want to embedd a font you choose the character button and choose all characters… but I am using a pixel font size=8 and when i choose the embedd it makes it real blurry???
when i dont choose the embedd it looks fine.
anyone know why this is?? and how I can embedd a font without this problem?
thanx for your time.

\Possible Problem 1:\
It could be that you are using a Photoshop pixel font and not a Flash pixel font. The difference is that Photoshop pixel fonts don’t always fall on exact pixels, this is REQUIRED for pixel fonts to work in Flash.
\Solution to Possible Problem 1:\
Download a Flash pixel font.
\Possible Problem 2:\
Your textbox coordinates don’t fall on exact pixels.
\Solution to Possible Problem 2:\
Click on your text box, then open the properties panel (CTRL+F3) and in the X and Y textboxes make sure those numbers are not decimal numbers (aka are at 90\.0\)
Or you could also go to View/Snap To Pixel, then grab the one of the corners of the textbox and drag it a bit so that it snaps to exact pixel positions. Then you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the font around.
\Possible Problem 3:\
You are using Centered or Justified text aligment (not sure how it works with Right alignment)
\Solution to Possible Problem 3:\
Don’t center or justify your text. It throws off the exact pixel positions. I believe if your textbox is a certain width (NOT set in the properties panel, but by double clicking and dragging the handle to change the size) then it might work, not sure.

Glad you found something that works.
As for MiR… I have never heard of it, so chances are it could be a pixel font, but one meant for Photoshop and not Flash.
