i’m experiencing some problems when i’m loading external txt files in a textfield, the text is anti-aliased, although the textfield is dynamic multiline and placed on a multiple of 8.  
Anyone knows what to do about this?

Hi,  
If you have embedded your font it will anit alias. You only really need to embed if you are using an unusual font. If you use something like \_sans or verdanna, no real need to embed and it will not anti alias.

Hope that helps

thanks for the reply, but this is the strange thing about it, even when i use \_sans it anti-aliases it, i’m using a pixelfont, when i type it in the textfield as a static text everything’s okay, the problem only occurs when i load the text through txt file.  
I found one link to such a problem but of course the page wasn’t there anymore
