Font Displays Jagged at Small Size

[phljoe]

I searched the forums but didn't see this discussed so I apologize if its been asked before. I have a layout in FM8 with several fields using 7 point Frutiger Condensed. In browse mode this font displays all jagged and the cursor appears out of place typing characters before where the insertion point appears on the screen. I can change the font but it seems to happen with all. It also happens on different machines. Both Macs running 10.4 by the way. Bumping the size up to 9 pt fixes the problem but I need to use 7pt for printing. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Change your System Preferences to smooth smaller than

Preferences >> Appearance >> Bottom of the window.

Duh. Sorry all. Let me answer my own post. 5 Minutes after posting I discovered if I change font smoothing in Mac OS X's "Appearance" system preference to "6 points and below" the problem is solved. Hope that helps someone else at least.

thanks, Lee. Figured it out a minute after you answered.
