Some hints to make it better:
- Change fonts - some fonts look better animated than others (Blocky ones
tend to look the worst)
- Decrease the contrast between font color and background. Black on white or
white on black looks the worst from my research. Yellows and off whites
help.
- Turn down or off hardware acceleration
- Make sure your video drivers are up to date. (Yes, even if it works in
2002 there may be a driver out there that works better in 2003)
Also, look at the presentation from your audience's perspective instead of
the design perspective. How bad are the jaggies when you project the font?
(If you aren't projecting, this one won't help, sorry
)

WH said:
Since installing PPT 2003, all fonts displayed with animation appear
pixilated and jagged while the same fonts displayed on the same slides
without animation appear sharp. This is true of all fonts, using any
animation style, whether the presentation was imported from PPT 2002 or
native to PPT 2003 and on any computer on which the presentation is shown
regardless if it has native PPT 2000 or 2003 installed or is using the new
PPT viewer. I notice another user posted the same problem on 9/28/03 but
there were no public replies. Any idea why this font display problem is
happening?
