I have searched high and low for a font called Mini Caps. I really need it. Electron geek told me that it is a great font for flash.

Does anyone have any ideas?
PLEASE!!=)

thanks a lot...trying to help you made my computer crash. weird things tend to happen when i mess with my windows/fonts folder.
:P

anyway, i couldn't find the one you were talking about, but i could recommend one to you. There is a particular favorite of mine called "BankGothic", that's all caps.

Bank Gothic won't work well in Flash at smaller sizes <14 because flash anti-aliases all True Type/Post Script text. What you need is a bitmap font. Try searching Google for bitmap fonts and you can get some acceptable free ones there. If you are serious about flash I recomend visiting FontsForFlash.com. They have a wide variety of bitmap fonts in serif, sans serif, transitional, symbol, pretty much anythign you need. They also have some pretty slick freebies up there. Hope this helps you.
