We are using Typekit Fonts in our eLearning project and are finding that the edges look pixelated when published. Does anyone know how to minimize the pixelation? What is the cause of this?

Image below of concern. It is occurring in the entire module. Fonts used are: Kepler STD and Source Sans Pro.

Hi There!

If you are facing fonts pixelation issue, may be you can use similar looking Web Fonts. Use the method as given in this post: Using web fonts in Adobe Captivate | eLearning

PS: This can be used for Typekit fonts as well, if these ones are available freely on web i.e. on Browse fonts | Typekit

Here is another helpful article for Typekit Fonts: Typekit Help | Sync fonts to your desktop

Hi JOneof2too,

I'm sorry you ran into trouble here. Typekit fonts, and really any fonts, don't look pixelated on their own. They're vector based and so don't actually use pixels. It sounds like this might be a resolution or other setting that is making things look less sharp.

If you use a font, not from Typekit, do you get the same results?  If so, it's definitely a setting in Captivate. If that's the case, I'm not an expert on those settings and we'll likely need help from the Captivate team.

Let me know and we'll take it from there.

Cheers,

Benjamin
