Dear Colleagues:

 

A student with low vision has attempted to use ZoomText 9.1 and 10.0 in
conjunction with Firefox and Pearson's MyMath Lab for both homework and
exams.  The student sets ZT at 10x.  At this setting undesirable artifacts
(symbols, numbers) appear.  Sometimes when one clicks on those artifacts
they disappear.  The student of course is unsure of what they should be
seeing.  When the zoom is disabled or at a low 2x magnification they do not
appear.  As described on the Pearson site the student changed from the
XFonts setting to standard but found the pixilation to distracting.  At
present we and the Math Studio are providing an observer/reader to eliminate
focus on artifact.  Any suggestions of settings to eliminate this problem
would be greatly appreciated if any exist.
