They are usually special pixel fonts. You need to have 'antialiasing' turned off whenever you make your text really small because otherwise it will just become unreadable.

I believe www.fontsforflash.com has download examples and a tutorial.

I had the same problem - check my post in this forum. Use dynamic text as your text and it looks just like html pages do. Also - the text looks blurrier in the flash editing window that it actually does when you preview the movie (at least the dynamic text)....Just my 2cents.....

You can also use the "device font" in text options, and that'll use the browser's text, and it'll be absolutly crisp, but that just runs into a whole other load of problems with size and all... ugh.
