Hello Forum Members and Guests. Attempting to pin down the reason behind the unexpected and random defocusing [fuzziness] of text comments is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Here is the result of my first and last attempt. 1.0 Choose an image with fuzzy text on it from your slides and open it in the O&A window. 2.0 Next, open the 'Properties' tab by left mouse clicking it [LMC] and further down the window under 'Objects [ ],[LMC] the 'Text comment' entry to reveal the options list. Note particularly, the single 'Anti-Shimmering [mipmapping] option in the grayed space above Objects [ ]. 3.0 Now, right mouse click [RMC] the 'Text comment' entry to reveal a new drop down menu. Notice here that 'Text comment' is checked; meaning the entry is ticked, [LMC] the entry to uncheck it.This action will return the window to 2.0 above. Again [RMC] the 'Text comment' entry - taking note of the additional two options now revealed: namely,'Rasterize text to PNG image' and the checked 'Auto font quality' mini box. 4.0 At this point I suggest the reader take a well deserved coffee break 5.0 The next step is particularly interesting: proceed to uncheck the 'Auto font quality' option by [LMC] its mini box. Notice two things: 1) the text comments are still blurred and 2) the appearance of a new options box to manually set the font quality. Take note of the numerical setting in this box by writing it down, before proceeding to the next step. 6.0 This time [LMC] only on the 'Auto font quality' mini box while noting what happens: A) the options box to manually set the font quality has now disappeared and more importantly; clarity of our previously blurred text is restored. 7.0 All is not over yet though: [LMC] on the 'Auto font quality' mini box again - the options box becomes visible but this time note its setting. Compare this value to the one written down previously. So, what has been happening? Why the difference? To find out we need to open the font quality options box by [LMC] the downward pointing arrowhead thereby exposing its slider bar. Notice what happens when the slider is moved to the left [low value]; the fuzziness increases and the text problem is reproduced, conversely when moved to the right [higher value]; the text problem disappears. This explains why the various tedious, frustrating, and time consuming workarounds have ultimately had their desired effect - albeit at much inconvenience to the end user in the process. Clearly, toggling between font styles for each slide until the fuzziness has cleared, invokes the program code at some undetermined point to manually reset the font quality to its optimum, [default] setting. Whereas I would expect this to happen automatically and without user intervention each time a new font style is selected in its options window. 8.0 In thinking about this problem I was puzzled by the relatively small number of reports on the topic by members of the forum - that is, until reading the most recent post by yachtsman1 wherein he mentions a fuzzy text problem reported to him by a colleague. I immediately sought to reproduce such an effect on my own computer running Windows XP. After numerous unsuccessful attempts I finally succeeded. Although the defocusing was slight it was still discernible enough to be easily seen by my wife who has Macular Degeneration. This outcome became the catalyst for my current investigation into the 'fuzzy comments' issue and the results now before you. 9.0 Conclusion. I am satisfied this issue requires a bug fix [technical jargon for program error]. It occurs at random and appears related to the auto font quality off-on timing function. Interestingly, its effects appear to be less in more recent versions of the software suggesting perhaps, a masking effect by program changes and advanced algorithms. Blurred text comments are easier to reproduce when opening old files made on earlier versions of the software for updating. This raises the possibility of a compatibility issue although I think its less likely. John. [Apologies for any formatting errors. I'm a newbie to this kind of stuff].
