I just found out a way to fix the font aliasing problem I wrote about a few days ago (here: www.catnapgames.com/blog/2…)
The font rasterizing utility I'm using, BMFont from Angelcode, writes the images as PNG files with transparency. The problem is that somehow, the antialiasing that BMFont does actually makes some of the fonts' pixels very DARK.
So the solution to this is to open the resulting PNG in Photoshop and crank up the brightness. It doesn't affect the transparency but makes the edges more visible and the resulting text looks much more full and solid.
