I am using a shared library for my project and use a font that i declared in that shared library throughout my other movies loded into my projects master.swf

what I'm noticing is that at 100% my embeded/shared fonts used in movies like my navigation, and other movies that utilize dynamic text fields are appearing horribly small and elegible on PC machines running in IE

When on the Mac, in either IE or Safari, the movie and all its child movies that utilize the text look great - no problems :(

Now, this is frustrating as heck and I cannot seem to figure out what is going on..anyone experienced this before..anyone know of a solution that fixes this issue?

I'm going crazy here..just dont get it. I designed this entire project on a Mac in Flash MX 2004.

Thanks.

Ok, well. I figured part of it out. Problem is, that my font being shared is a pixel font..that pixel font looks fantastic on an apple display (during runtime and author time) regardless if i select the "alias text" button in the Property inspector. Thing is, once the "alias text" button is selected in the PI at author time..a rebublished swf of the movie looks fine on both machines(mac & PC) and not even just a browser issue. This holds true to self contained Mac and PC projector files as well.

The catch --- worked only on my series of buttons (actually movieclips) in my navigation swf. Still remain puzzled and unable to resolve the text problem with the dynamic text areas in the other loaded movies. I originally thought it may be just a factor of the buttons using dynamic text fields that were single line andthe text areas using multi-line, but that had no effect on change.

Any help out there? Can someone lend a hand on this?
