Text not horizontally aligned in RSVP

Hi all,

In a couple of RSVP (word-by-word presentation) experiments we have noticed that not every word of the sentence is presented on the same line on the screen. Most are, but every few words, one word will appear a few pixels higher. The difference in alignment is not large but is noticeable to some.

I've been looking through the OS documentation on screen refresh rates and resolution settings, but these don't seem to be the issue (screen resolution is set in the general properties to be smaller than the presentation screen and I've tried unchecking uniform co-ordinates).

Has anyone else noticed/solved a similar problem? I've attached a test experiment where the issue can be seen (please ignore random bits of code!).

Thanks,
Kate

    So someone noticed it has to do with words that contain characters with tails (e.g. commas, g, j). The word is offset to align the tail with the horizontal axis. How can we change this?
