Subject: Image quality in GD Library
Posted By: ss2003 Post Date: 2/11/2004 2:59:24 PM
I am creating am image with text in using GD Image library. But the quality of the text in the final image is not good. It looks great in browser but when I print it (which is what needs to happen eventually) The edges are quite fuzzy and pixelated.

I've tried using png and jpeg (with differnt quality settings) but it still always looks crappy! Right now I am using TTF fonts. The PS fonts are practically experimental it seems and are not loading right on my server.

Any ideas what I can do to make the quality better?

Are you using imagecreatetruecolor()?  imagecreate() makes images of poor quality.
imagecreatetruecolor() accepts arguments identical to imagecreate().
