Re: Rotating the text

[Jonathan E. Paton]

Start with text at a resolution which is greater than your needs.  E.g. if you want a 
block of
text to be 1000 pixels by 100, then create text at 4000 by 400.  Next rotate, blur 
slightly, and
then scale the image down.  Four times greater in each dimension would produce great 
results, but
would be very slow - experiment.

Does your fonts allow such a big size?  If not repost and I'll tell you how to get 
reasonable
results with the ones you've got.

This is the best solution I know of, although I'm no graphics expert.

 I have a problem with rotating the text
 
 when I rotate the text to 45 deg / 3.14/4 rad
 it looses it sharpness and the characters breaks
 it is a big eye sore
  
 I am using gimp_floating_selection_attach
  
> gimp_floating_selection_anchor does not help either
 I have tried antialising feathering but did not help either
 
 What am I missing?
 
 I use gimp 1.1.4 and perl for scripting
 
 Thanks in advance
