DHTML Billboard Font Resolution

[kfloyde]

First of all, I want to send big kudos to the designer of this script... It was exactly what I needed for my home page and the transitions add a nice touch. Thanks!

In reading through the other posts on this section, I was able to change the font, however, it is displaying as "low resolution" regardless of which font I use. Nothing I try manages to smooth out the font like the rest of my page.

It's not a big deal... I'm just feel particularly "Monkish" about it this afternoon.

Any ideas?
Kim.

It would help to link to your page and the script in question.

See this thread for the proper posting format when asking a question.

If memory serves and I understand your problem, you need to add a background-color to fix that.

If you need more help with this script or help in adding the background-color:

Please supply a link to the page here on Dynamic Drive where you got this script.

The script is on www.intranetconcepts.com/main.htm

You can view the source to see how I configured it... not many changes from the original script, which I downloaded yesterday from dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/dhtmlbillboard.htm

Thanks for your help,
Kim.

In the past, in IE 6 with this script, or at least in others using the alpha and/or the the blend filters, that displayed text in this odd manner, this has always solved the problem:

.billcontent{
width: 100%;
display:block;
font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Tahoma;
background-color: #EEEEEE;
}

Currently, due perhaps to the particular filters involved, or to that fact that I am now using IE 7, it doesn't take care of it.

Yeah, I just checked, it really wasn't even a problem that much in IE 6 except while the filter was actively transforming and, adding the background-color to the .billcontent class fixes that in IE 6. Must be an IE 7 thing, perhaps configurable in that browser's settings.
