Anti aliased not working on italic text
Hi, I have a problem that I can't find the solution for. I have checked the
newsgroups and support forums but didn't find anything.
I have a text box that contains anti-aliased text. It renders correctly,
but the portions of the text that are italicized do not look anti-aliased.
I'm using 8.5.1 on Windows XP. I remember having this problem before and
managing to fix it, but I don't remember how!
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Chris #2 Re: Anti aliased not working on italic text
Hi all,
I made some progress, but I'm still struggling with this one.
I opened up all of the text members, changed their font to something random,
then changed it back to Arial. This corrected the problem, and the italic
text now renders anti-aliased.
The problem is when I view the movie in Director, the text reders correctly,
but when I publish it to the web, the italic text is still aliased (crunchy)
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Ok, I figured it out. When you set the HTML of a text member, the font name
must be capitalized.

That sounds like one for the quirk list at [url]www.updatestage.com[/url] as well as
letting Macromedia know about it:-

Would somebody who has d8.5.1, D9 or MX be willing to see if they can repro
the bug and post the results here? Just make a text member called
"Narration Text", then set it's HTML property using this code:
Here's the code that doesn't work (note lower case a in 'arial')
tText = "<html>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "<head>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "<title>Untitled</title>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "</head>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "<font size=4 color=#000000 face=" & QUOTE & "arial" & QUOTE
& ">" & "This is <I>italic</I> text" & RETURN
tText = tText & "</html>" & RETURN
member("Narration Text").html = tText
Here's the code that DOES work (note Uppercase A in Arial)
tText = "<html>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "<head>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "<title>Untitled</title>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "</head>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF>" & RETURN
tText = tText & "<font size=4 color=#000000 face=" & QUOTE & "Arial" & QUOTE
& ">" & "This is <I>italic</I> text" & RETURN
tText = tText & "</html>" & RETURN
member("Narration Text").html = tText

I see no difference using D8.5.1 on W2000 SP4. Maybe there's an operating system
setting in XP for it? I know there's a setting that's supposed to make text
easier to read on an LCD.
