does anyone know how to get fonts looking nice in crisp in flash. i'm looking for a real nice small sans serif font - like the one joshua davis uses on his site. i can't find any pixel fonts for flash that look like that? any help would be much appreciated.
thanks!!!

www.emigre.comto name a few off the top of my head. remember almost all bitmapped fonts have a set size to use. say if a font is designed to be used at 9 pixels then it can only be used at 9, 18, 27, etc.. plus in flash to get the font to display crisp there are a couple things. the font must be placed on the whole pixel. .0 not .23 or whatever. if the font is used in a graphic or mc, then those assets must be on the whole pixel. the font must also be left aligned.
if you want more clarification go to www.miniml.com and he's got a pdf that will explain a little better how to use bitmap fonts for flash.
hope that helps.
