Fuzzy Font Predicament

[Sno]

Hi all, can you heelp ?

How can I keep text that is small (8pt) clear when I export my flash movie ??

When I export my movie the text is always fuzzy and hard to read.

Thanks

You need to use a pixel font, designed specifically to not anti-alias at small sizes.
They are designed to be only one specific point size, like 8 point and multiples thereof, ie 16, 24 etc.
There are several rules about inserting them in your movie, disobey them and they will look like crap, be careful and you will have very clear tiny fonts.
you can get some good free ones at http://www.miniml.com

READ THE README FILES!
I say this because I never do and you really must in this case or they wont work.

you can see all the ones for miniml layed out on a page i did as a test at
http://www.visi.com/~mgason/travel/t.../pixelfont.htm

if you want to see what happens when you dont follow the rules check out this
