Pixel fonts appear different on win IE browser than mac Safari

Has anyone noticed this when building a flash app in mx 2004 pro? Its driving me crazy. I know the rules and reg on setting all my coordinates on the whole integer, alias’ing my fonts etc…

However, knowing al of this and doing what I had always done before in Flash mx isnt working when buidling my sites in mx 2004 pro. I preview the app in win IE and mac Safari. Safari looks great, but when viwed on a win machine, the 8 pixel font size is un-readable…all fonts look horrible and tiny. This is mainly just on my dynamic text fields…but still, my static text fields that use the same pixel font look crappy on the win browser…

aahhhhhhh :red:

this thing is making me go gray quicker than I’de like to. any help would be fantastic… My deadline is quickly approaching and I’m freakn out!
