You can try to reduce the focus or contrast on the video projector to
the point where the characters can be seen but can be barely discerned.
This way the audience will think there is a technical problem and relief
their frustration by blaming the cheap projector or a tech guy, and show
no inquisitive interest regarding the character set used for contouring.
Hope this helps.
