Since content in the Player can be delivered through a browser window, users could have widely varying screen resolution and color depth settings. Therefore, it is important to consider the fonts and colors that you use in the content. Not all fonts are easily readable on the screen, and not all colors appear correctly.

 

In general, sans-serif fonts such as Arial are recommended for anything appearing on the screen, since they appear more clearly. Also, avoid special fonts that every user may not have installed on their computer. If you do not know which fonts users have installed, it is advisable to use a font family for web pages. A font family is a group of fonts with similar characteristics. The web browser goes through the fonts in the family until it finds one that is installed.


Different colors may appear differently on a user's computer, depending on the color depth that is set on the machine. For example, if a user has a lower color depth setting on his or her machine, a particular color may appear so dark that it prevents them from reading the text or viewing a graphic. The Web Colors palette in the Color dialog box contains colors that render similarly for most monitors, and are considered safe colors.
