Text looks fine in design mode but pixelated when published

Post by rpalmer »

Can anyone comment as to why the text looks pixelated in the published application but looks fine in design mode? Any help would be much appreciated. (See attachments)

Hi rpalmer,
In the dictionary under "fontSizes" is a possible clue?
Use the fontSizes function to determine which font sizes can be displayed or printed without creating "jaggies".
Not sure why it works in the IDE and not a standalone.

There also may be some font substitution going on, the two fonts look different.
