User Interface looking pixelated

[u/Paradoxical95]

I was following this tutorial on making 3D Main menu.I was successful however the text on buttons in my game look bad. They look pixelated. What am I doing wrong? Is it the canvas size ? or is it that my font is too big relative to the screen size?
Also, other options look muddy for some reason. Why is that.?

As you can see. The button that I hover on looks even more pixelated than the normal ones.

Im not near my pc so I can’t look up the specific setting names, but I’ll do my best to help from memory.

1.) If I remember correctly, the biggest help I had with this issue, was setting the widget size to much larger 3d actor, than in the widget itself. I believe if say the widget size is 300x100 on the canvas, I usually set the 3d Draw Size on the actor to 600x200. I may have this backwards, so play with it a bit. 2.) Set the anti aliasing to an option other than the default, Unreal’s AA causes 3d widgets to blur and look a bit rough.

Do you mean the draw size here?. In this case, the canvas was 400x200 and draw size in level/actor ref was 800x400. Didn't help.As far as Aliasing go, in my project setting, the default is TSR. It has worked just fine for everything including 2D widgets on screen. Do you recommend changing that? or is there any other text specific setting I should know ??

Thanks.

Edit - I played along with global AA settings, tried FXAA, MSAA, TAA as well. Nothing helped it. Still the same.

Yes sir, thats the draw size im speaking of. Make that 2/3/4x what your widgets actual resolution is. Then scale it down in the world to the size you want. I believe the issue occurs when the scaling in the world is blown up and you’re trying to make pixels out of nothing. Make the resolution much higher than you need, the draw size higher, and then scale it down in the world.

I did. Pushed it to the maximum in the level instance of the actor (3840x2160). Nothing happened. Scaled it up. Scaled it down. Nothing happened.
This is strange. What must I do now?
