Alignment Caveat
Authored by: Quantum Cowboy on Feb 17, '04 11:51:01AM

One thing to be careful of is that for at least some fonts (i.e. the ones I've tried :-) the final rendered text is slightly *different* in size than what you see onscreen within iDVD. (At least, it's this way in iDVD 3 - I don't have 4 yet.)

I ran into this after using the Companion to carefully line up all my titles, then when I burned the DVD I found things shifted. ARGH!

The text alignment setting mitigates this somewhat - if you're using the Companion to line up right edges for example, make sure the text is set to be right-aligned and you'll be ok. (It sounds obvious, but it's easy to overlook.) Just remember you cannot depend on the final rendered title being the exact same size (mainly lengthwise) as what you see in iDVD.
