Re: FLASH: Re: flasher-digest V1 #3805- ANTIALIASED?!

Matt,


You do mean you want aliased (blocky not smooth) text, right? If so, you can use

device fonts. I think this is what Soulbath is doing, using a _typewriter font,

which shows up as aliased...you probably do have Courier on your machine which

is generally the default typewriter font.


If you want anti-aliased (smooth) text, you need to include font outlines so

Flash has the vector info to draw and smooth the edges.


HTH,

Randy
