Marcel> An example you can find here: Marcel> http://www.online-image-editor.com/tests/text.html Just so you've got some terms, you're talking about anti-aliasing. I suspect a GIF can't display partial transparency in a pixel, so when it doesn't have to do transparency, it can blend a given pixel to be some mixture of background and foreground, optimize its pallette to that effect. When you're asking it to do transparency, though, it may not be able to handle mixing transparency with the foreground color. Marcel> The convert that i use: convert -background transparent -fill blue Marcel> -font Arial -pointsize 72 label:Marcel. label.gif Marcel> Does anybody know how to create "nice" letters on transparent Marcel> background? Not sure about this, but how about trying a PNG instead of a GIF? I think it might be able to handle what you're talking about. Keep your call the same, and save to a PNG instead, bring it up in a browser to see. --Harlan _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
