Hi,

I’m having problems when creating graphics with small fonts (arial 11.5px. They come out very jagged. I’m using these graphics for my web site which end up looking very ugly after optimization. Can anybody help me with this.This problem did not always exist on my computer.

Thanks

When you select the text tool, there is options for None/Sharp/Crisp/Strong/Smooth in the toolbar at the top. Experiment. Small type will always look somewhat jaggy because there isn’t much pixel information.
