I've been trying to use GD to create text images with transparent backgrounds. I'm using it because it makes it possible to control the text angle and therefore write something vertically. So I have text written in black on a white background, for example, and I want to make only the text appear (without the background). There's no problem here, because I can set the background color as transparent and everything works fine. The problem arises when my HTML documet's background color changes. Because of the font's anti aliasing, after I make the background transparent, the image generated has very fuzzy edges around the text. These edges are either visible or not, depending the HTML background color - the image is displayed over it. Does anyone know if there's a way of controling text anti aliasing? Is it a font attribute. What other solution could there be? Please help. Thanks
