Hi,

I was comparing the quality of HTML generated text (eg generated via the SiteSpinner text editor) to that of text generated via a drawing package and imported as a gif and there is a marked difference in quality when font sizes are large. In particular the HTML generated font is more granular - curves are more stepped, text is less sharp. I assume this is a limitation of the browser.

I wondered if anyone else had encounterd this issue and whether they'd taken an approach other than handling large fonts with gifs?

As a supplementary thought it makes me wonder if there would be advantage in having the option to render text as an image from SiteSpinner (png,jpg,gif etc) to preserve sharpness.

Hi Bruce,

Web fonts tend to be like that because there is no anti-aliasing applied to them. That is why many people use an image for a Title - check out the Title Editor (icon on the left tool-bar)
