International Users: Font Issue Resolved

At the end of March we found out about a problem for international users. The text inside the Gizmo was not readable (see prior post). We analyzed the problem and it seemed to be caused by the anti-aliased fonts used in the Gizmos.

We have now added a method which allows you to turn off the 'font smoothing' so the Gizmos should now be fully readable for international users that experience this problem. To use this new feature follow the following steps:

• Go to the ExploreLearning Shockwave Test Page
• Click on 'Gizmo Preferences' in the lower left corner of the test Gizmo.
• Set the Font Smoothing to OFF.
• Return to ExploreLearning and start using Gizmos!
