i have i file that i embed fonts but the text dont seems to be good its so blurry right can you guys show me the proper way of doing it here i attach the file and please give me some example or edit the file i attach for an example please
When you embed font outlines the text looks the same as it does as if you were to set the textbox mode to “Static” instead of “Dynamic”.
Why?
Static textboxes automatically embed the font outline for the characters used in the textbox so that the viewer can font you used.
Dynamic textboxes however do not do it automatically. Of course there is a tradeoff though, if you want clean crisp text you will have to not embed the font outline, but this will cause people who do not have the font installed will end up seeing something like times new roman. But if you embed the font outlines the font will get blurry, but the viewer will be able to see the font no matter what.
Well, unless you use a pixel font, but many people consider them too small or unreadable… so theres another tradeoff.
so what do you suggest should i do cause lot of site use them and there are crisp and also, is 04b_03 a pixel font? and if 04b_03 is not a pixel font where do you think can i get one
another thing what does it do if i put the font in the library? does it change anything
hmm…
i used pixel fonts in my movie, and i found they werent crisp in static text, but in dynamic text it looked good, but they didnt come out on another computer, so i embed the font and it is blurry…
even with the pixel font, and i tried breaking the font into the shapes and still didnt work?..
The easiest way, but probably not the best, is to use pixel fonts, dynamic txt, on whole number coords and break the text up. I’m sure someone will tell you it’s wrong but it works.
Dont break your text apart. You’ll have a hard time if you ever need to change that text.
told you. but it works.
yeah, i thought of that, so i copied the file and tried it again…
and i used whole numbers and used sizes in 8 px…
if i use static text why doesnt the pixel font look as sharp?
04b_03 is a pixel font… for Photoshop.
Pixel fonts for photoshop don’t always fall on exact pixels because Photoshop allows you to disable anti-aliasing on text altogether, but Flash on the other hand has to anti-alias text to embed the font outline, so a pixel font would have to be exact pixels. Most (if not all) of the 04b fonts are Photoshop pixel fonts and not Flash pixel fonts.
