How to get sharp text?

[Ian Jones]

Specially designed fonts are a definite bonus. Aligning text to integer values is also necessary. Can you show us a screenshot or two of your experiments? it would be nice to see which fonts you are using so we can also give it a go.

a good font to use at low pt size is verdana... 8/9/10pt is nice in flash.

just put the text into a dynamic text box and dont embed the font outline, then it will be nice and sharp

in your menu at the top of the program under "view" there is a option for "Antialias Text" and "Antialiais" you want just "Antialias"

that should clear up the problem in most cases.

If that still doesn't work, than use more web safe fonts like Arial or Verdana around font size 10 at the lowest.

Tick the system font check box it will alias the text and i will look crisp in small sizes.

I don't know if the "antialias" thing workks or not, but the way I've doen it throught the text options, you can check a box, "use device fonts" and that uses the browsers text, but you run into problems.

Flash's text size and ie or netscape's text size are very different, and it seemed way more of a pain to go through all that. I think it's something like 12pt flash type is the same as 2 for a browser. Some of the options in size in flash aren't allowed in a browser.

Thanks for all your input - I solved the problem by using only dynamic text - it looks exactly like a normal html page..:thumbsup:

I would use "px" instead of "pt", because "pt" is interpreted by the various browsers differently.
