V2 Button component doesn't handle pixel fonts well?

I am creating buttons in code using the macromedia V2 Button component with a Flash 7 application but the embedded pixel fonts which work fine elsewhere in the app are blurry and apparently antialiasing on these button labels. Is there a way I can get inside the button component to resolve this issue or failing that is there an alternative Button component that will do the job that anyone can recommend. Please help!

_global.styles.Button.setStyle(“embedFonts”, true);

var initObject = new Object();
initObject.backgroundColor = “0xFFFFFF”;
initObject.color = “0x333333”;
initObject.fontFamily = “standard 07_57”;
initObject.fontSize = 8;

testBtn = menu_item_container.createClassObject(Button, menu_item_model.name, 0, initObject);
testBtn.label = menu_item_model.name;
testBtn.enabled = true;
