imagettftext() gives grainy text when writing aliased text

I'm using a bundled version of GD: 2.0.23 compatible. When using the
function imagettftext() with a negative color to get a aliased text,
the text gets grainy. What could be wrong? I've tried several ttf
fonts, with the same result.

Using PHP-4.3.11 with GD extension, bundled GD library, and freetype-2.1.9 (with X.org 6.8.1). I can't get the TrueType Font (TTF) bounding box to come out right. Whether using imagettftext() or imagettfbbox(), for some angles of text (like 45 degrees), the box comes back in the wrong place. Sample code below; just change the $font assignment to point to a TTF font file. You should see a text string with a box around it, but my box isn't...

Hello, I'm trying to make a gif image out of a total of 5 (currently) images. One background image and 4 small icons. This image also includes text of a specific font. Here are my issues.

I could really use some help. Please take a look at the following image: http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1346/grainynn3.png As you can see, the text in the image is fairly grainy.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
