- MMmm... I use Scala MM220 daily and most of the time, using a fine tuned
- palette and level 3 antialising, hires text looks >>good<<. When I need
- really smoooooth text or very big letters, I use Montage, which allows
- stretching of letters to very big sizes and extreme height-widht ratios,
- save the graphic as 24-bit and transfer/scale in ADPro.
- If you don't have Scala or Montage, maybe you can make yout text VERY big
- in Art Expression (or other vector grafx program), then screen-dump or
- grab the screen with ADpro and scale it down, which will antialias it
- somewhat...
