Font problems

I've been struggling to get fonts to work properly. From searching the forums I can see that I'm not alone. The clearest explanation I've found so far has been here:

So I've got a text object in my level with a character height of 3.5. In my code I'm doing this to try and select a 28px size font, to keep the 1/8 ratio as suggested in the thread:

%textObj.removeAllFontSizes();
%textObj.font="Herculanum";
%textObj.addFontSize(28);

I can see that I have a "Herculanum 28 (ansi).uft" font file generated in my common/data/fonts folder.

Both in the editor and in-game, the anti-aliasing on the font still looks very, very bad.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Much thanks!
