pixel fonts

**mmreed** · 06-06-2002, 08:20 PM

I have tried using various pixel fonts in koolmoves, only to get them antialiased and not appearing as they should.

Please look at the fonts on http://www.taobot.com/

I tried to get the crisp look they have in the fonts, but cannot.

Is there a certain way to do this? I dont want to turn off antialiasing all together because there are other fonts I want to use that should have it.

any ideas?

has anyone done anything in KM with pixel fonts?

Ive tried all the fonts here.. none are displayed in KM as described. They do appear correctly in Flash directly.

Does KM force some level of aliasing?

Can there be a way to turn it off on a per font object basis?

I don't believe you can turn off anti-aliasing in a swf on a per object basis and like-wise for KM. Dynamic text (without an embedded font) on the other hand uses Windows anti-aliasing which is very weak to non-existent.

Bob:

If you look at http://www.taobot.com, as well as many other sites, many use a crisp looking pixel style font. I have tried many ways to duplicate this in KM, including using the exact same pixelfont. Each time the KM generated swf does not maintain the crispness. If I put them in Flash and look at it, it remains crisp.

There was also mentioning of controlling aliasing at the parameter level in html. I have not seen anthing in the code of other sites that show them using this method. Below is the code for taobot - nothing regarding alias is mentioned, yet the fonts are precisely crisp.

Ive tried many approaches, but all have failed. I did a search on FK and other boards say its just a matter of using the pixelfont.

How can this be accomplished in KM?

The only way to understand this problem is to generate a swf in flash with a single "a" and a swf in koolmoves with a single "a" and I will see if there is a difference.
