Hello and thank you for your time.
I am authoring an interactive calendar which features hover captions which appear when a user mouses over specific days of the month. The hover captions are activated via transparent buttons.
I am using a pixel font called Nokia cellphone, size 8. As you can guess it works fine on my local machine because it has the font loaded. In order for that font to remain intact on machines that do not have the font loaded, I need to embed it. I have taken the necessary steps to embed, but when I do the font becomes blurred and compressed to a much smaller barely visible size. When I choose not to embed it returns to normal.
There is a tutorial on this website for hover captions, and that is what I used as my framework for this project.

Also I am using Flash 8. I used the embed method from the Flash 8 documentation. I hope this is enough information to spark some discussion and possible troubleshooting. I don’t absolutely have to use a pixel font. I’m just more interested in why it doesn’t work. Thanks for any input!
