Sorry for the late answer, but I was very busy last week. The fonts imported by swfmill are anti-aliased. But the result, especially for small font sizes, might be more blurry. This is related to the DefineFont3 Tag you mentioned. I'm not sure when a new release will be made, but I hope it happens soon. Perhaps even this year ;).
You can download a current swfmill win32 build from: http://pep-mp.de/swfmill/swfmill-0.2.12.6-win32.zip Ralf > I’ve tried to read as much as I can from the archives about font > support in swfmill.
