We've achieved a similar thing on our site where you can type in a line and see it in the font you've picked, it is scrollable and scaleable.
I think this was achieved with swift generator which produces a swf file from the font selected. It might be worth going to the swift site and asking the question there.
Hope this helps.

I think I understand the problem, and you need to embed the characters of the font you are using. Look to the properties bar when you've selected your text box, the character button should solve all of your problems. Look up font embed in help if you need further instructions.
Try adjusting the line spacing or leading (I forget what Flash calls it). It's in one of the Paragraph options and it looks like it's slightly off in your blurry sample.
Also make sure that your text box (and any movie clip that may contain it) has the X and Y coordinates set to whole numbers (i.e. 5.0 vs 5.1, 12.0 vs 12.3�)
