Hiya! Sorry for all the posting, but I'm just eager to learn!
How do I disable the "ClearText" thing in multimedia fusion 2? You might recognize it as the
little coloring effects that get added to your font depending on the color behind the text. Is there a way to disable this?

Hi

Im not quite sure what you mean, Are you talking about the string object? If you give more details as to what you are doing and how you are doing it myself or someone else may be able to help.

Never apologise for posting here for help, thats why its here

It's a way to increase the perceived resolution on LCD screens.

And sorry, I don't know how to disable it.

What font are you using? Not all fonts use ClearType.

To disable it, enable the Anti-Aliasing option for your string.

This a screenshot from MMF2. Both strings are using the font Berling Antiqua. Top string has Anti-Aliasing disabled and the bottom doesn't. Which does seem wierd because Anti-Aliasing is pretty much the same thing as ClearType.

Can you do this while making the text as an active object? Or do you have to first make the string and then convert it?

Hm, the effect seems to remain to a certain degree even with anti-aliasing turned on.

Well if you are making the text an active, try making the text in photoshop and turning OFF anti-aliasing. Then you can just copy the image into MMF2.

Cleartype and anti-aliasing are not the same.

Anti-aliasing works on pretty much anything and any resolution. It does not affect resolution
Cleartype on the other hand requires a specific pixel layout (which is common to just about every modern LCD screen and displaying at the screen's native resolution. In theory it triples horizontal resolution at expense of color fringing.
