Vector fonts that has been created to simulate pixel rendering, so at 
their native size, or multiple of it, look crispy without anti'aliasing.

No, I'm using swfmill, no Flash IDE.

Think so, then I don't know if you would define this differently:

This shouldn't be a problem if set at the right size.

Of course there are no decimal in the position, have you ever used 
swfmill will pixel fonts? It's 7 years I use pixel fonts in Flash and 
never had so many problems. I thought it was a well known issue 
considering the different posts related that I found, for istance:

I will consider it, despite we wanted to be also flash7 compatible. If 
this is really a swfmill bug, I'm suprised that it hasn't been fixed yet.

Thanks, chr
