I am attempting to use a pretty, cursive font from Photoshop on a website I’m developing. When I attempt to rasterize it and convert it to a transparent GIF, it ends up very rough and pixelated. You can see what it looks like here http://www.floweringaround.com/new.

Does anybody have advice on converting cursive fonts to the web?

Thanks,
Kevin

By the way, this may not be relevant to your problem, but there’s no need to rasterize anything before using Save for Web.

You might try anti-aliasing your text. And definitely run all your words through a spell checker. There’s just something unprofessional about bad spelling…

Looks fine to me.

Computer screens are low-res devices. Web graphics are inherently low resolution. What you’re seeing is about what I’d expect to see.
