Text Aligning
I noticed that when I make a scratch project on both a mac and pc, I noticed that some of the text had shifted. My game is affected to the point where you can't play the game if the text is shifted. When I fix it on one system, the other is affected. When I upload it, will the text shift again? As in, should I work on it on a mac or pc so that the text will not shift online?
Ty in advance..

Re: Text Aligning
I think this might be caused by having different fonts on your two computers. I'm not sure how to avoid the problem... my best advice is to only edit the project with one computer. Or, you could create the text in another program such as Microsoft Paint (or for Mac, something like Paintbrush), and then import it to Scratch.

I agree, it's most likely a font problem. One solution is to make sure you use a font that both computers have.
So for example: Here's list of fonts that most Macs should have installed. Notice that some of them also say "Bundled with Windows", any of those would be good choices.
