Re: Problem with text alignment..........
The only way to get text to display on a website exactly as it does in Xara is to group it, either with another object, or with itself, thus forcing it to be exported as an image. But neither search engines not screen readers can read images.
The other way to get text to display correctly but not necessarily exactly as shown in Xara is to use a web-safe font. You can't go wrong if you restrict yourself to this list:
- Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
- Arial Black, Gadget, sans-serif;
- Bookman Old Style, serif;
- Comic Sans MS, cursive;
- Courier, monospace;
- Courier New, Courier, monospace;
- Garamond, serif;
- Georgia, serif;
- Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;
- Lucida Console, Monaco, monospace;
- Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, s
- MS Sans Serif, Geneva, sans-serif;
- MS Serif, New York, sans-serif;
- Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua, Pala
- Symbol, sans-serif;
- Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
- Times New Roman, Times, serif;
- Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;
- Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
- Webdings, sans-serif;
- Wingdings, Zapf Dingbats, sans-serif;
And finally only use a font size that is a whole number (10, 12, 14, 18, 24 etc.) with no aspect ratio.
Sometimes, over-zealous kerning or tracking will also upset the display of text so use it wisely.
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
Avoiding Manual Labour.
