Modifying kirupa's text scroller

Another twirl on the wheel of fortune.
Where would I be without these forums?

I’d like to use kirupa’s “text scroller” but I need it to display the text in a pixel-font (FFF) of my own choosing. As the scroller uses dynamic text the pixel font doesn’t come out looking very healthy though; it looks different from the way the pixel font displays when it is static text. Is there an easy trick for this?

Again - probably shockingly simple, but I’m stumped as my skills with flash are pretty basic.

Any help would be wonderful.
