It'd be helpful if you could post the file online somewhere and send us a link, so we can see it. But as a guess: have you checked the "Antialiasing" checkbox, in the Text toolbox/palette? And, is your zoom level (on the image's "View" menu) set to ~100%? If you're zoomed way in it may look pixelated, even though at the actual size (100%) it really is smooth. Also, if the image mode (on the image's "Image" menu) is set to something other than RGB, changing it to RGB may help. If none of that helps, post the file online, and/or give us some more details. -- Anthony DiSante http://encodable.com/ http://nodivisions.com/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
