Suitable Corporate Font

macromedia flash sitedesign: Ok, from past dealings with developing in Flash, I've learned that I must place
all font on whole integers on the x and y axes. Also, for the most clarity it
is best to use a pixelated font at 8px or multiple of 8. I believe I also need
to turn off the anti-aliasing.

Having said this, I am looking for a font similar to Verdana in style (read:
nothing too off-the-wall, very vanilla) that I can use in development within
Flash MX 2004 Professional with the least amount of problems, but that I can
display at larger than an 8px resolution. Perhaps 10px? I'll pay for it if I
have to, but if there is something that is "free", well - so much the better.

I'm developing some online training material for the company I work for and
8px in height just won't cut it. It's way too small, even for my eyes and I
need to be thinking about the entire corporate community here and their visual
accuity or lack thereof. It will be used for creation of "static" text.

Is there such an animal or is this as elusive as the Holy Grail?

Thanks in advance for all your support -
