Pixel font displaying incorrectly

I'm designing a flash interface and it's currently my first endeavor with pixel fonts. When I test the movie in Flash, the pixel fonts display differently than they do in the editor - namely, they look slightly "jaggier" and the circles become filled (i.e. "O" becomes a filled circle, "b" a filled circle with a line attached to it). Does anyone have any clue why this occurs and how to prevent it? I'm using a G4/OSX w/ Flash MX. Thanks.

maybe try embedding the font. also if you have a bold version in the movie, and the pixel font does not include a bold subset, it will fill in the o's and a's as you described. make sure you don't go smaller than 8 or 9 point as well...
