[Gimp-user] Need High Def Text

2016-12-08 Thread SportStar
Hi, I am using Gimp 2.8 to design an A1 poster. The poster contains text and while it looks OK in 100% or 200%, the moment I go to 400% it all gets pixelated. I have read some info and checked that the text tool is set to Hinting - Full and Antialiasing is ticked. How can I solve this problem ?
