Inconsistent appearance of font in speech bubbles
Sep 19, 2012
Hi
I'm having some challenges with the font I'm using in speech bubbles appearing differently in preview mode from what I see in edit mode.I just cannot see what I might do differently - editing / retyping hasn't helped.
The text box is set to do not autofit.
However, in the example posted, you'll see the font appears different in layer 1 than it does in layer 2 when previewed but not when in editing mode. I have other instances of the same thing happening. Some are within layers and one is in a slide of it's own. In that single slide where font size is playing up I have two paragraphs of text (i.e. line break). Another slide with a line break encounters the same problem - and it it part of a multiple-layered slide.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Grant,
Thanks for sending us the project file.
I'll download and test it first then I'll reply to the email that you sent us and continue there moving forward.
My guess would be that you don't have this font installed or it is not a font supported in a .NET Framework application. I would suggest substituting a similar sans-serif font for this project like Arial.
Thanks Justin.
The font is installed on the system but I suspect it isn't a font supported by .NET Framework application. Seems as if this means such a font might behave inconsistently, rather than not working at in in the first place!
I'll find a suitable substitute and see how we go.
Hi Grant and Justin.
It looks like a bug. I've replied to the email already and submitting it to our Quality Assurance Team.
What's happening is if the text calls a variable (i.e. %UserName%) the anti-aliasing of the font is crisp and sharp. If not, the anti-aliasing of the text is somehow different (not that sharp).
