Alright I’ve searched through the forums and have done everything regarding how to use pixel fonts and make them sharp and clear.

Here is what I’ve done so far:

1. Used specified size (8)
2. Font is on whole coordinates (x,y)
3. Used static text because I read that Flash 5 has a problem displaying pixel fonts in dynamic text.
4. Left-justified

I also noticed that the pixel fonts will become sharp when published at ‘low’ quality, however I also have images in my swf file which becomes affected when not published in ‘high’ quality.

If it helps, I’m using font ‘Org\_v01’ from [http://www.orgdot.com/aliasfonts/](http://www.orgdot.com/aliasfonts/)

Please help, I’m a newbie. Thanks.

hmm it might be a photoshop pixel font as opposed to a Flash pixel font. There is a difference (though I can’t remember what). Which leads nicely onto - why the hell is Flash so bad at doing fonts? I hope they fix it, cos it really bugs me - you should be able to choose whether it’s anti-aliased or not 😕
