Hey leenx,  
What size did you specify the fonts to be in? They have to be in multiples of 8 or something such as 8, 16, 24pt, etc. I am not sure if that might be your problem, but it doesn’t hurt to try 🙂

Tried using 8 pt and multiples of and also making sure the text box was on a whole number for the x and y coordinates. Still didn’t work. Any other suggestions?

I posted this message on Flashkit a few minutes ago and thought it might be of benefit here, too.

I recently visited a site that claims to have a solution.

[www.fontsforflash.com](http://www.fontsforflash.com)

They’re (above) saying that their fonts are special because they are “pixel fonts” and are “specially designed so that every part of a character falls exactly on the monitors pixels” which prevents them from appearing blurry in Flash.

Anyone tested this? If you do, let us know if it improves your output. Thanks.
