FontFlasher - Turn any font into a crisp web pixelfont.

With FontFlasher, our pixelfont creator, you can turn any font into a pixelfont giving crisp appearance in Macromedia Flash.

Macromedia Flash uses TrueType fonts, but in smaller sizes, these fonts can look fuzzy (see example at right). FontFlasher converts almost any format font into a pixelfonts – crisp outline fonts that simulate bitmaps. This improves legibility of screen text in small font sizes.

Import format: Any format that can be rendered by the OS (including TrueType, Type 1, OpenType and bitmap formats)
Export Format: FontLab VFB. Requires FontLab or TypeTool to generate font in TrueType or Type 1 format.

Limitations:
The demo version processes only some of the characters in the font.

Requirements:
Mac OS 9.2+ with CarbonLib 1.6+ or Mac OS X (10.3 or higher recommended).
To generate TrueType pixel fonts (usable in Flash) from the VFB files that FontFlasher creates, you will need FontLab, AsiaFont Studio or TypeTool.
To edit the pixel fonts using the Pixel tool (bitmap-style glyph editing tool) you need FontLab or AsiaFont Studio with Python installed.
