I downloaded fiew pixel fonts, made everything in flash mx, dynamic, size
and position 0,0 0,0, BUT, it only displays like PIXEL FONTS on my computer,
on everybody elses, it doesn't, I noticed it could be a difference because I
have these fonts in my system/fonts allready...all those damn tutorials on
the net suck...could anyone explain this properly ...

Thanks :)

Critical - when you say you set everything to dynamic - do you mean you set
your fonts to Dynamic? This is a big no-no when using pixel fonts.

Pixel fonts are designed to be used at a specific size (usually will say when
you download the font) and as static text set on the whole pixel.

Feel free to email me an example .swf file of the problem you are having if
these suggestiosn don't work.
