[Gimp-user] How, really, to do text?

[David Benfell <benfell parts-unknown org>]

Hi all,

Fiddling with anti-aliasing and hinting isn't working for me. Any text I 
add to an image is horribly pixelated and the help I'm finding with web 
searches isn't working. I've tried adding the text at full size and I 
tried scaling the image to twice the size and adding text, and then 
scaling it back down. It still looks unbelievably awful.

How does one really do this?

Thanks!
