VB.NET GDI Blurred Text problem

[boeledi]

I'm new in GDI programming and I am facing the following problem.
I try to dynamically create "thumbnail"-like images (JPEG) in which I
need to draw text.
This works fine, except that the text is always a little bit
"blurred".
Here is the code, could someone give me some help?
Thanks in advance,
Didier

Public Shared Function AppropriateFont (ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal
minFontSize As Single, ByVal maxFontSize As Single, ByVal layoutSize
As Size, ByVal s As String, ByVal f As Font, ByRef extent As SizeF) As
Font
If maxFontSize = minFontSize Then
f = New Font(f.FontFami ly, minFontSize, f.Style)
End If
extent = g.MeasureString (s, f)
If maxFontSize <= minFontSize Then
Return f
End If
Dim hRatio As Single = layoutSize.Heig ht / extent.Height
Dim wRatio As Single = layoutSize.Widt h / extent.Width
Dim ratio As Single = Microsoft.Visua lBasic.IIf((hRa tio <
wRatio),hRatio, wRatio)
Dim newSize As Single = f.Size * ratio
If newSize < minFontSize Then
newSize = minFontSize
Else
If newSize maxFontSize Then
newSize = maxFontSize
End If
End If
f = New Font(f.FontFami ly, newSize, f.Style)
extent = g.MeasureString (s, f)
Return f
End Function
