How do you ensure aliased fonts remain so in IE 5.2 for OS X?

[gregorylindley]

So, here's some strangeness....

My fiancé is putting together her online portfolio using Flash 5. She has published all her files with aliased dynamic text fields in Trebuchet 12 point, as she doesn't want it to be anti-aliased. It's tight, and she is going for that pixel crisp text look.
Everything was going smashingly well, and then IE 5.2 for Mac OS X came out...

There are certain parts on her site where she has text as gif images created in photoshop, and others as dynamic text created in Flash. Prior to IE 5.2 being released, this wasn't a big deal, as both the text, and the text-image were crisp, and aliased.

Now, in IE 5.2, her Flash generated text is anti-aliased, and her images remain aliased, even though she specifically made sure that when she published her files from flash, the text was set to be aliased. So, the image-text and dynamic text look different, and don't line up.

Another weird thing that happens is that the leading between her text created in Flash changes because of the text smoothing in IE 5.2

Even stranger is that Omniweb 4.1 respects the aliased text in the swf files and doesn't anti-alias them. Chimera also disregards the request for aliased text.

So, is there a solution out there?

Please help!!

Thanks

The only way to get full control is to use pixel fonts and static text. It will looks exactly the same on any platfom that you'd be viewing.

the problem i think, is osx's text rendering engine, quartz, which antialiases web text. the onlu option would be either use static text or disble quartz (on your computer, but won't do any good on the users' computers....
