I just updated to Leopard (yeah a little late) and now in filemaker 7 the bold fonts are fuzzy. This also happened a few years back when I upgraded to Tiger. It only happens in filemaker, which is a pest. Any ideas what is causing this?
It's hard to tell without seeing it, but it could be that Filemaker is trying to anti-alias the fonts. Are there settings in Filemaker for anti-aliasing? (I haven't used it in years.)
Does the fuzziness change if you go to System Preferences, click Appearance, and change the Font Smoothing options?
No its nothing to do with anti-aliasing settings as I've already fiddled with those. Its something to do with how filemaker reads its fonts. I suspect it can't render the newer Leopard fonts correctly.
My filemaker files reference Tiger 10.4 fonts that may have been overwritten with Leopard fonts. That's a guess.
