button title flickers

Everything about DVD Architect works brilliantly except my button titles have an infuriating flicker while the DVD Title above is rock solid. Nobody else seems to have this problem that I can see after a quick visit to the forum. I can't find an antii-flicker switch like there is in VEGAS for such wobbles so any ideas from anyone. I have even tried using still buttons rather than animated to see if the effect is gone but little difference.
Thanks.

Chances are that the font you're using has thin lines in it. Try making the text larger and / or bolder. If that doesn't help, or if you need the font the size and weight it is, then be sure you're not using a font with thin lines (ie, serif).

Thanks Rob for the note. I'm using garamond bold 20 so it should be okay. I have tried changing to arial before without any difference. I find it all a bit baffling!
Any more ideas?
thanks reece.

I just tried again - reduced number of buttons per menu page and changed text to arial and bigger and the DVD seems to be much better. There still seems to be a flaw in architect with no anti flicker switch as in vegas - what is the point of a huge number of texts if architect cannot produce steady text??

thanks the genie

You could try applying some blur to the font. That's something that DVDA does give you control over.
