Google video always makes pixel-perfect videos blurry.
Damn compression.  :(

What's the point though? Playing on an incomprehensibly small resolution?

But what do I know?
Everything I say should be taken with atleast 1 tsp. of salt, and another liter of Dwarven Wine is recommended.

The idea was to have a tiny font for rendering large maps and for playing videos online without blurring. It failed on the latter.

No amount of font-work will produce a result that will not fail on the latter.

Actually a good way to do it would be to use a very large font on a medium sized resolution.
