Fonts blurred

[gareece]

I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as me with regards to blurred fonts on FM Go.

 

I have created a layout which I use as a kind of template.  I simply copy the layout and paste into another blank layout and then make some minor changes from there.

 

On my desktop it works fine, and I have tested it on my Mac 10.8.5 and also Windows 8.1.  I am using FM Pro Advanced 12.0v5.

 

On FM Go 13.0.5 some of the layouts have slightly blurred or soft fonts.  Other layouts are sharp.  In theory they are identical.  I checked the size and position of all the elements (ie. text boxes) and they are the same.  I have my measurements set to 'pts' and made sure the text boxes are all positioned and sized as whole numbers.  Zoom is 100%.  If it makes any difference I am developing this on my Mac.

 

The font is Arial, 14pt, not bold or italic.

 

On the blurred layouts I have moved the text boxes, created new ones, tried new FM GO std fonts, resized the fonts but it always remains blurred.

 

It's certainly usable, in fact I thought that's just how the iPad rendered the page until I saw other pages with sharp fonts.

 

Can anyone help explain why this might happen, and perhaps offer a way I can avoid this happening?

Try Helvetica font.

Can you post a screenshot to illustrate the issue that you experiencing?  Are you font sizes smaller than say 8pt font size?
