Having problems in Flash!! using a pixel font in a kind of a horizontal scroller, making the text dynamic, and putting all stuff on whole numbers it looks fine on my computer and a couple of others. however on some computers the font is displayed as a different font, tried embedding as well still no luck, search a lot of sites no luck! any ideas?

It's most likely the flash player, I think I don't know for sure but, I know flash has had it's issues with pixel fonts but in the latest version they claim it has been corrected but I'm not sure. I just remeber my roomate mentioning it when I was bitching about fonts.

is the scroller, and the position of your fonts at a whole number on the x and y axis'?

How do you embed the font?

Are you shure you embed the font? Sounds like it´s not embeded and that the computer that doesnt display it correctly hasnt got the typeface intstalled.

yeah - with embedding (you may already know this) but make sure you make the text box to be using the new embedded font from your library, not the original font, say helvetica. it should be 'new font 1' or something that you have called it.
also - make sure you have spec in the character options what characters to include.

ok, i did what forcetwelve said and embedded the font that way! it worked, but now i have a different problem!!
it looks fine when opening the page, but then when scrolling to the left or right and returning to the original position, the text is blurred!
