Futurist Fixed Width

[Nick Toye]

I have a problem.

I want to use the above font.

The thing is when I tested my flash site on someone else's system. The font was different.

I presume this is because I hadn't embedded the font.

I did this, and now the text is blurry.

Any solution?

It's not because you didn't embed the font. It's because they don't have the font installed on their computer. If you load the text inside a textbox that is selectable then they will see a different font if they don't have the same as yours. If you put the text inside a graphic or within Flash, then they will see the font you have used. Embeding the font should also work? Why is blurry and can you show me an example.

If a font is embedded it's visible regardless of whether the user has it on their computer or not.

It's blurry because Flash anti-aliases fonts that are embedded. You may want to check into a pixel font.

A last resort could also be make the text an image and importing into Flash, as warrior suggested. But it sounds like the text you're using is going to be dynamic and changing, so that wouldn't be a viable option.

Good luck.
