Fuzzy fonts/was RE: Movie Clip INSIDE a movie?

[David Owen]

There  is a setting in Aftershock under the Shockwave tab that says "device

font". This is for use on windows machines only and  substitutes the font on

the users machine for the one embedded in your Flash movie. 


For example, if you have used Arial for small text in a flash file and you

keep the quality of the movie set to high, it will display as antialiased

Flash rendered text. If you include the "device font" code generated by

Aftershock in your html (it lives inside the object parameters I believe)

then a Windows machine with Arial installed in the system will display the

text the way that machine will display text anywhere else in the operating

system, usually aliased. If you have a font in your movie that is not

installed on the clients machine then it will display as antialiased Flash

rendered text.


The advantage of course is that small text is usually more readable when it

is aliased.


This is my understanding of the "device font" option. If anyone knows

different please correct me.


p.s. Everyone in this office uses Mac Outlook for Exchange. This mail

program has no insertion cursor on any of our machines. Please enter a bug

in RAID so we can see where we are typing.:)
