Font looks different when preview/publish

I am quite surprised that this issue seems to be still unresolved? I have the same problem. The font in the editor is fine but when published it is kind of blurry or less sharp. If you Simply type a line in a text box in Storyline 1, publish it and then type a line in this forum and publish it ,you can easily see the difference. The only workarounds that I have come across so far have been
a) Set the Story stage size very big (say 1280 X 720) and then select Articulate or Verdana fonts of a bigger size (like 18) and then publish and set the player to match the browser window. OR

b) Set any variable (say x) and then at the end of every text box call it as %x% (simply enter the %x% after the text ends). This makes the text sharper when published but sometimes it becomes smaller (say 2 font sizes smaller) with some blank lines added, so it requires some adjustments to the text box.
Any other workarounds, please post here!
