    Use pixel fonts such as the ones that we have on our site. Other options include device fonts and dynamic text, however, these seem to have too many disadvantages.

    you could use the _sans and _serif system fonts in flash.

    you could import gifs.

    you could use flash specific fonts, like fff mentioned. another member created an awesome flash-specific version of arial at size 11, available here. or theres always good ol free http://www.miniml.com

    another option is setting your text as dynamic text. the drawback to this is that the user must have this font already on their computer, or it will be viewed as their default font.
