Nice site...you might want to try using pixel fonts for better clarity on your text. It's a bit blurry. Pixel fonts would look very cool.

i can't use a pixel font, because the text is loading in from a text file....unless you know of a way...?

Hey sorry i didn't respond sooner but I had no email notification of a reply.

All the pixel fonts used on my site were created as a dynamic text. The position has to start from X: 0 and Y: 0 and then positioned into place.

Then I went to modify - break apart - then grouped it. That's it!! The reason why I broke it apart then grouped it is because those without that font will see it in a different font...usually one that's not as clear.

You can find some free pixel fonts at www.miniml.com (http://www.miniml.com)

What font is it 808? In some cases, it might be more efficient to embed the font. That way, it would be easier for you to modify the text and might make the download time easier (since you're not breaking up the font).

[RenaissanceGirl]

Oh wait - if you have dynamic textboxes into which you load variables from an external text file, the font should be anti-aliased, or crisp and not blurry. Isn't it?

BORING! Seen at least 200 other sites JUST like this. Everyone just keeps ripping off eachother.
