I do appreciate your calling my explination a mess...


The only limitations to total freedom of font choice is file size and

the fact that Flash's regular text is anti-aliased and does not display

well at small sizes. Good user interface design also limits the smallest

size of text you should be using as well. So if you don't use text that

is too small then it should be quite readable (though maybe not as crisp

as you would like). Most people increse the minimum font size they use

by a point or two to compensate for Flash's smoothness.


There has been no change in the anti-aliasing of Flash's regular text

and if the fonts appear overly smooth to you in Flash 3, then they will

appear the same way in Flash 4.
