Hi all, Ok this is probably the oddest problem I have ever seen with pixel fonts to date. I have some 7 pixel text in the font Mini7 on the stage, rounded numbers for the x and y coordinates and when I publish its perfect (no anti-aliasing). I then add the same text behind a mask and the text all of sudden gets blurry. I have no clue why this is occurring. The font is set to bitmap text (no anti-aliasing).

Is this a known issue with pixel fonts? :puzzled:
