so I have a menu with some tex (pixel fonts) with a screen res of 96 dpi (WIn XP) they look crap of course… then I changed the res back to 72dpi, turned off Antialias text and rendered! AND they still look like crap!! especially the "D"s…
ideas, thoughts??

what you have is not a true pixel font, but what’s called a bitmap
font instead. It’s not meant to be used in flash, but in photoshop
and other graphic programs.
here’s a good start at some true flash fonts –

Slight correction:
The difference between a Photoshop and a Flash pixel font isn’t whether it is bitmap or not (well that I have noticed), the difference is that Flash will anti-alias anything that doesn’t fall on exact pixels, but Photoshop has the text property to turn off anti-aliasing no matter what. So a Photoshop pixel font doesn’t always have to fall on exact pixels, but a Flash pixel font does.
well…of course I’m setting them NOT on a fraction…I though there would be a direct difference between bitmap and pixel fonts?! so, is there?!
anyways…I’m unsing butdust 2, so if anyone has an idea of how I can substite this one against one that actually works, I’d be very thankful!

Well whether or not you set them not on a fraction, if the font itself is built on fraction it doesn’t really matter :-\
The only way to use a pixel font in flash and have it be clear is to use a pixel font that is specially created to work on exact pixels.
You can get these fonts from places like
