Good news for Flash 6- developers: FontLab released FontFlasher, a conversion tool that creates new truetype fonts suited for a fixed size based on an original font’s hinting instructions.

Ok, here it is: a software to painlessly create so-called pixel or bitmap fonts, SimpleFont. It’s a commercial software and I haven’t tested it already, but some people might be interested.

Famicom – short for Family Computer – was the first “third generation” game console. It was later released on the western world as the NES – Nintendo Entertainment System […]

Jonas Galvez – brazilian Flash developer and Macromedia Team member – has opened his blog, in brazilian portuguese and english flavors. Jonas has been writing articles and news posts at OnRelease.org, but finally decided to create a place of his own. Also worth mentioning is the page design (and way cool illustration) by Irapuan Martinez.
