Font appearance problem.

I have sucessfully loaded the font i wanted but it looks terrible.

Here is a screen of what i mean.


Does Blitz have something aganst AA'ing the fonts? I set them to smooth upon loading...

do you have
setblend AlphaBlend
in the code?

No, that cleared it right up! It seems bizzare to need that bit of code, could you please explain why it's necessary?

when the font is loaded in it's converted to a bitmap with smoothed edges. The smoothed edges only show with AlphaBlend otherwise there is no transparency, just jagged pixels.
