Loss in text resolution – non-responsive project

Hi,

I recently tried to rework a project from responsive into non-responsive, and I instantly noticed that there was a significant loss in the resolution quality of text that I had typed into the project. The same exact text, in the responsive version, looks as if it is higher quality and is not as “blurry” as the non-responsive version. I tried retyping some of the now-blurrier text to see if that helped at all, and the text is still of the same low quality.

Both projects have the exact same slide dimensions.

I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue, or if there might be some solution.

Thank you

Lieve is correct. Another solution is to create larger projects that don’t show off the anti-aliasing that you see with 1024 x 627 projects. Lately, I’ve been creating projects that are 1470 x 900. When I publish, I turn on HTML Scaling so the slide shrinks on smaller devices like laptops and tablets. As a result, I no longer hear the complaint about blurry text from my stakeholders. Text is still converted to images, but the anti-aliasing is less pronounced.

Reason is that static text in a non-responsive project is converted to images, and that often makes the text blurry when you are viewing in a bigger resolution than the resolution you designed the project.

That is not the case for dynamic text, which is text including variables. Look at the results slide of a quiz: the variables will appear crisp because they are rendered on runtime. It is an old pain…

Workaround: create an empty variable (no value) and insert it at the end of each text.
