[Fonts] Pixel Fonts Are Closing Gaps..
Hi there,

I've got a weird and irritating problem. I have a font, supernatural_10_02, which I use in a site. This is a pixelfont, so I'm taking special actions to make sure the fonts look non-antialiased. This works fine, the text looks very nice. Untill I export the movie, then the gaps in letters are being closed for some strange reason.

To ******** things, I've uploaded two examples. First an example of how the font looks on the Flash MX Working stage:

Then an example of how this same text looks when I export the movie:

What is going wrong? And what am I doing wrong.. Is there anything I can do to prevent those letters from closing? Please help!

I'm using Flash MX 6.0 on Windows XP

Ps: I've tried to export the movie on a Macintosh, the letters on that mac did not close?! Really weird..

Pixel Fonts Becoming System Default Fonts?
Hello, when I try to use some of the pixel fonts I have downloaded some of then turn into 'system default fonts' as if by magic and then fail to work, the ones that work like the FFF fonts don't turn into 'system default fonts'. Is there any way to stop my fonts becoming system default fonts, and would this ensure they dont muck up?

attached is a pic to show you what i mean.

Pixel Fonts / Bitmap Fonts
There are hundreds of pixelfonts out there, just check http://www.dafont.com/en/bitmap.php for example, but most of them don't seem to work with Flash!?

So far, after installing loads of them and trying them out I have only found the Kroeger, Hooge and Standard fonts from miniml.com and one called "Fixed_v01" to work...

I was wondering what pixelfonts you guys have tried? I would love to find a really small pixelfont like silkscreen that works with flash.

Hi, does anybody know about using pixel fonts with flash? I've recently downloaded some free pixel fonts and planned to use them in a flash site, but because Flash anti-aliases the text they look blurry, defeating the object somewhat...
...anybody have any tips or ideas about how to avoid this problem...it can clearly be done as I have seen numerous flash websites that employ pixel fonts.

Cheers...

Just a quick question. I am thinking of getting some pixel fonts and playing with them but was wondering, are you able to do the things u can with non-pixel fonts. Such as alpha fades and other tweens like that. Just wondering.

Hi,
I've been using pixel fonts for quite a while now and know all the issues about aligning them to exact pixel coordinates and using exact sizes to make sure they don't antialias.
However, I have noticed with a few fonts that I want to use, that when authoring in Flash they look fine, but when published, the flash player still antialiases them The player also frequently fills in the 'o's too, so they appear as filled circles rather than the proper ring shape...

...anybody experienced this, or know a way round it? Am I missing something?

I am looking for a pixel font that is readable at quite small sizes like the one used on this site: ihearithurts. I have downloaded the 'pixelfont' font from the font dattabase on this site, but at small sizes it appears blurred. could someone tell me how to correct this or where I can get a proper pixel font that works?

Thanks in advance, Felix.

This has probably been asked many, many times before, but none of the other topics had a very clear answer. Anyway, where can i get a pixel font exactly like the ones at www.theory7.com? The one I really want is shown in the attached image. I searched the flash store, and they didn't even have the font up for purchase. And heck, if I could get it for free, it would be even better. If I could get an answer, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!

and the ones that do, are always filled in in places. (like the opening in a "D" would be a fill)

if anyone can shed any light on the matter, that would be greatly appreciated.

(probably a simple question i know, but meh)

Hi guys!,

I need a pixel font in the way of FFF Extra, i.e, one with graphics to use like icons (printers, letters, speakers, etc).
I take a look at www.fontsforflash.com and www.dafont.com but there isn't anyone that I could use like icons.

I'm using a pixel font in Flash 8 with a scroller. On some pages the font appears perfect whereas on other pages of my Flash site the font appears anti-aliased. And in some cases the font will appear crsip, but when I scroll, it will swicth between an anti-aliased face and a crsips pixel font as I scroll.

I've checked, double-checked, and so forth and the scrolling text boxes are placed in the same places, the fonts are set to have no antialiasing, etc. In other words everything is identical from page to page. Is there any reason the font will appear ok on one page and not on another?

Thanks!

I'm using some pixel fonts such as fff access but at very small sizes it is very unreadable. Also when I break apart the text it is also very unreadable, actually any size the font is no good.

Have tried other pixel fonts and the result is the same.

Is this a setting somewhere? or are the fonts not designed too well. Any one know some good free pixel fonts? or any ideas?

Thanks

Pixel Fonts Something That May Help You
something I've found about pixel fonts is they are tricky as hell if you don't use the number. But one thing I found very handy is that you can't change your text box's width and height in the Info box you have to change it by selecting your box and then changing it that way (with the mouse) but if your width and height have decimals then you can simply ad decimals to your x and y posisions. example:

width = 105.3 then your x posision should be have the decimals of .7 at the end.

Anyways I'm sure this is a well known fact just thought I would list my finding since it took me a while to figure it out on my own.

Can some one point me in the right direction to learn about pixel fonts. There has to be a formula to them, I understand them to a point, but as soon as you start embedding them two, tree deep they blur out.

PIXEL FONTS
I'm using pixel fonts for the first time and I cant seem to make them work properly. the words are still unfocused and unreadable.
I already put the size to 8 ou 16,
no decimals in the X and Y position,
embeded the font,
tried all the anti alias modes,

nothing seems to work and the words look like blurs

Am I missing a step, or doing something wrong?

i have this pixl font called rr_something... i have read tuts that most pixel fonts are good at 8 point, 16 and so on... and the position should be a whole number...

the thing is, that when i previewed it, the fonts where not showing properly.. the P, B, O characters where not normal... the space inside the letters where "filled".... i have fixed this by breaking the letters apart... and erasing the "filled" spaces...

is there another way to do this without having to break apart the letters??? like, for example, i use the pixel font in a paragraph....

thanks!

Hi,

I'm interested in using pixel fonts for the website I'm currently building, but I notice in the instructions for the fonts, at Fonts For Flash, it says that you may not publish your movie on the 'Percent' setting, only on the 'Match Movie' or 'Pixels' settings.

I understand the reasons for this, but I like the 'Percent' setting because then I know that everyone viewing my website will be seeing the same thing.

So, I quess my question is;

Is there anyway to make a movie that has the attributes of a movie published on the 'Percent' setting, while still using pixel fonts that look clear?

Thanks for any help,

So I've downloaded some pixel font (kroeger 05_06, hooge 05_06) and when I type in lowercase the font previews in uppercase and sometimes in lowercase like I typed. Then I'll type in upper and most of the time that works fine. I can't seem to get the font to consistenly work in lowercase. It's fidgety and works when it wants.

Any ideas on why this is?

Thanks

Mac & Pixel Fonts .. Please Help
Hello:

I just switched from a PC to an Imac for designing with Flash. I am having problems, once again, with pixel fonts. We are designing sites that are English and French, so I need accented characters to show up. On a PC, no problems, but on the Mac .. I have to enable aliasing on the text for it to display properly, which messes up the french characters. This did not happen on PC .. ideas? I am using Bossa font to be specific.

Thanks .. Any Mac experts out there? Please help!
