Animated Font Problems

How come when I add an animation to a font (the font is a
normal Arial text created in Powerpoint), the animation
makes the font really jaggedy and pixelated -not only
while it's animating, but when the animation finishes? -

Yes, it does that. We know things that make it worse and things that make it
better, but have not gotten any definitive answers. For what it is worth:
Dark backgrounds are usually worse than light. Chunky fonts are worse than
thin fonts. Sometimes updating video drivers helps, sometimes it doesn't.
Turning ClearType on makes it worse. Gradient backgrounds make it worse.
Some animations are worse than others: movement ones are the worst, appear
and color change are less likely to have problems. The higher resolution
monitors don't show it as often in some cases.

If you want to know what things look like on other machines, along with what
we know so far, you can check out the articles on my site at:

(Oh, one more note: I do now see this with my flat screen monitor. I still
rarely if ever see it on other monitors.)

Not the answer you wanted, but maybe you can provide the information that
will make a difference and help us all find the answer!
