text pixelates when animated -- why?

[Guest]

Hi, I'm a near-expert powerpoint user for more than a decade and this one has
me stumped. I have a presentation with a black background and text boxes
with white-color font. Without animation, these look great. As soon as I
add animation to the text boxes (fade-in on click) the text appears pixelated
(jaggies, no anti-alias, etc.). I can't figure out why this is happening.

I've also seen this happen before when I have different color text or
differnt fonts within the same text box. If anyone can shed light on this
problem and hopefully offer a fix, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

You may find that it only happens with certain custom animations.
