I used one of Kirupa’s dynamic text masking tutorials. It says that in order to mask dynamic text, you need to embed the text. When I do this, the text is anti-aliased. How to you alias or crisp-up the embedded dynamic text?

On a second thought, I don’t think it is an embedding problem. Even regular dynamic text doesn’t appear crisp. I put it on integer coordinates and set the font size to 14. What else do I need to do?

I have attached my source file.

you can’t embed arial and have it come out crisp. but that’s not your problem because it wasn’t embedded. your problem is that you probably tried to resize the dynamic text box and that screwed it up. i would just create another dynamic text bos and use another font.

I didn’t resize anything.

Why is my example source file busted?
