Hi all,

Windows XP supports a screen resolution of 96 DPI, now that is changable…usually, but not at my Univeristy. Does any of you know how to deal with the Pixel Fonts problem other than changing the resolution to 72dpi… All of the fonts look fine when editing flash mc’s, but once renderd, they really suck!!!

Thanks,

m.

the problem is that pixel fonts were specifically made to be 72dpi.  
There’s not really much you can do about this unfortunately.
