Hi! Hopefully someone can help with this. I got this issue where text is blurry on my slides. I've tried the variable hack and it solved the blurriness but now my text won't align correctly and the font size is wrong on render. Does anyone know a solution? Thank you!

Another solution is to rescale your project to a higher resolution. For example, if you are using the default of 1024 x 627, try bumping up the resolution to 1470 x 900 or perhaps even higher such as 1770 x 1084. You can do this from the Modify dropdown menu and select rescale project. Make sure you maintain the aspect ratio. When you publish select HTML Scaling so the project will scale down to fit your browser.

Hi Mark!

The "Variable Hack" is adding an empty variable at the end of each text layer to force Captivate to render the text at run time which makes the text sharp.

But when the projects renders the text is smaller than the 16px set in Captivate and the text auto-align to the top. Sometimes the text layers get like 3-5 empty text lines or it auto-align to the bottom can't tell which one is happening but this is how it feels. Everything looks fine in Captivate.

Interesting trick... although I guess the text should be clear on its own. Especially since its HTML and should remain as text. It is a bit bizarre.

Although one thing to keep in mind is that when you preview in a browser, it might not be 100% (Command + 0 or Ctrol +0 will show you Actual size.)

But sounds like the trick isnt working so well since it brings upon other issues. I guess its a 2 step trick... and we are waiting to learn the 2nd step! Thanks for the little lesson!

Hope you get this figured out

cheers,
Mark
