Why does the text look pixelated

I am using Helvetica Neue and when I publish the site the text looks pixelated.

Best practice is to use a Web Font, if possible. If not, use a Web Safe Font and only as a last resort use a System Font (since it will be converted to an image). An image is slower to load in your browser, prevents site viewers from copy/pasting your text content, prevents using the browser's Find feature within the page, and prevents you from being able to apply hyperlinks on ranges of text. Muse does automatically generate "alt tags" for the image, so search engines will still be aware of the original text content.
If a System Font is used, it will only render well if the background of the text frame is 100% opaque. (It has a solid fill color. An 100% opaque gradients. Or it has a 100% opaque fill image.) This is due to the fact smoothing the edges of the type on an LCD display requires knowing the color of the pixels behind the text. If the text frame is transparent then the smoothing will be performed using an inferior approach that is color agnostic to avoid creating color artifacts on the edges of the type. (Note that bringing in a transparent image containing the type from some other source will have the same problem.)

  • Why does the Video looks Pixelated after Burning DVD

    In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great, when I burn the DVD it comes out very very pixelated. I've changed the preferences from Best Performance to Best Quality, and the project properties as well I've done the same. Does anyone know why this is happening?
    I'm using 16:4 aspect ratio Video Size is 1280x720
    Help

    How are you viewing the DVD you created - on a computer or on a TV?
    In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great
    The preview uses your original content on your hard drive and is simply designed to allow you to see if the 'flow' (sequences, menus, etc) are what you wanted.
    In addition, although iDVD 'supports' HD, it only supports it in the context of current specifications - not the new HD DV world that has two competing HD DVD formats.
    This means your 1280x720 content gets downsized and compressed to fit on a 720x480 DVD. The video must be 'expanded' to play on a HD set.
    BTW, your aspect ratio is 16:9 and NOT 16:4. 16:4 would REALLY be widescreen! I haven't seen THAT spec yet.

  • Why does the text look blurry sometimes in Firefox 4?

    Whenever I use Firefox 4 on my Toshiba Windows 7 64 bit, it doesn't happen but using it on a Lenovo with 7 64 bit, this problem happens. It doesn't happen everytime I use it and happens on sites that I have visited before that were previously unblurred. I assume this is a issue with FF4's compatibility with my display.

    Turn off hardware acceleration in the '''tools/options/advanced-browsing''' section. This seemed to make it better. Found this suggestion elsewhere.

  • Why does my text look jagged in Fireworks CS4?

    I have had it up to here with fireworks CS4. I can't figure out why my text looks like my dog chewed on it. If Fireworks CS4 has the same text engine as Illustrator than why does my Text in Illustrator look crisp but my text in fireworks looks jagged. I tried using anti-lising but that didn't help. I know there's been a lot of text issues with Fireworks CS4 but I thought the bugs were all fixed by now. Check out the attatchments to see what I'm talking about.

    I posted a similar discussion a few months ago and while many were very helpful with their suggestions I have all but given up with using text in Fireworks.
    It just isn't worth the bother when other applications can do text with no fuss and no messing with sizes and resolutions. I tend to use illustrator or dare I say it, Paintshop Pro which produces text easily and clearly within a text box or over an image
    I'm keeping an eye on your discussion to see if there are any new words of wisdom. Here's hoping.
    Sorry I can't offer any advice

  • Why does this text look a little different in Firefox?

    Look at the difference between Firefox's text and Konquerors. (Firefox is on top, Konq on bottom)  Firefox's is rather... ugly; konquerors is how the site is supposed to look.  Why is that, and how can I fix it?  Firefox looks fine on pretty much every other site except that one, but I go there often and the text looking like that is bothersome haha.  It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to fix if I can but I don't even know where to start.

    Firstly, I too think, that Firefox displays the page in a better way. Tahoma is amongst my favourite fonts.
    ConnorBehan wrote:Why is the (5656 viewing) part only in the Firefox screenshot?
    Easy explanation. He displayed both pages shortly each after, this is why under Konqueror there is one more posting. He is using Firefox as his primary browser I guess, therefore Konqueror has him not marked as logged in. Only logged in users have the information displayed, how many users are viewing some particular subforum.

  • When using classic dialog controls in labview 7.1 why does the text color that I have selected always stays black?

    I have an older program created in LV 6.0.2 that uses dialog buttons. The text color is red or blue. When I load it into LV 7.1 the color stays black. When I edit text I can see that the color is correct but it will not display the color when I leave edit mode on the control. Even if I select a new button from the classic tools pallete "dialog controls" I am unable to change the text color.
    What is happening? Why does LV 7.1 prevent this text color change?
    Roger

    The dialog control colors are set by the operating system so they match other controls that the OS generates. So in LabVIEW 6, they were actually not behaving correctly.
    The following text is from the LabVIEW help on Dialog controls.
    "You cannot customize the appearance of the dialog spin control, slide controls, or progress bars because the controls and indicators use platform-specific drawing functions that do not support customization. You also cannot use Property Nodes and Invoke Nodes to customize the appearance of these controls and indicators."
    If you need different text color, you'll have to use the non dialog controls.

  • Why does the text in text boxes go invisible when annotating PDFs in preview?

    If I hover my mouse over where the text box is, the little yellow box that tells you what text is there comes up and shows what the box is supposed to say, but the text is invisible. If I double click the area where the text is supposed to be, it highlights and makes the text visible again. Its not that the text is white, because if i drag it over a dark area, it still doesn't show up. This happens when I open it up again after annotating and saving/closing it. I attached pictures of my cursor hovering over the invisible text box, and one of it hovering over an unaffected text box, for comparison. This has happened to me before. What is happening and how do i stop it?

    But, about half the time, when i am finished typing and click out of the box, back to view the result, the text does not appear. If i go back to Edit Content within the box, it is there, but disappears when i exit the box. It does not print when i print a test sheet.
    The fact that 'about half the time' you are seeing this issue and presumably not the other part of the time, I would suggest trying to run the 'Repair Database' option in the First Aid dialog:
    Quit Aperture > press and hold Option + Command keys while launching Aperture > select and run the 'Repair Database' option.

  • Why does the web look TERRIBLE on my new Retina display?

    The new retina display is fantastic, but browsing the web looks horrible.  Can anything be done to improve the web browsing experience? 

    Most websites are designed to look good on low end computers, typically with a resolution of around 1024x768.
    Our retina macbooks have such a high resolution display that they basically show the flaws you would not normally see on a low resolution display.Text that is rendered using the mac os system fonts should look beautiful, but low resolution pictures and non-native text will look terrible on any website or application.
    There is no real fix for this issue, other than hoping the web in general starts moving to higher resoltuion content in the future. The same problem exists with the retina iPad, and in my opinion, things look even worse on the ipad since you tend to be zoomed in further while browsing the web.

  • Why does the text size shrink when I make the window smaller?

    I have some notes in a DOCX page.  I don't want the entire page blocking up the desktop yet I want to see the notes.  When I change the size of the page, the text shrinks too.  How useless is that?
    How to I keep the text normal size and have a smaller page?
    Everything I know I learned from my cat. No matter what the situation is, there is a napp for that.

    Hi,
    When we I change the size of the page manually in Word 2013, the text won’t shrinks. I also resize the window via code below:
    Sub ReSizeWinodw()
    Application.ActiveWindow.WindowState = wdWindowStateNormal
    Application.ActiveWindow.Width = 500
    Application.ActiveWindow.Height = 500
    End Sub
    It won’t shrink the text too. If you are using code to resize the window of Word, would you mind sharing with us some code snippet to help us to troubleshoot this issue?
    If not, I suggest you posting it to
    Word IT Pro Discussions get more effective responses.

  • Why does the text display differently on two different computers?

    I created a Keynote presentation on my G5 which contains some slides with type. I copied the presentation to my MacBook Pro, which I use for presentations, and the text moved! I had some that was fine, but some where the whole text block moved and some text that reflowed. I did not get any font error messages and both computers are using the same fonts which I control using Suitcase Fusion. Any suggestions?
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    That’s a lot of work for nothing, IMO. You could just convert the text to an MSO or even a scrolling frame using this method:
