Re: [Gimp-user] Why is lettering not clearer?

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

It may be my eye, but the word Home looks to be a tiny bit larger than the 
word Hired. Is the type the same size? Try making Hired 1 pt bigger.

You might also try widening the kerning (spacing) between the letters in 
HIRED. There are a lot of close together verticals in HIRED compared to 
Home.

HIRED is all Caps while Home is U/lc (Upper and lower case).  Should they 
not be the same?

Try also making small pixel words at 600 to 1200 dpi.

Good luck.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Why is lettering not clearer?

Hi,

I created a logo and uploaded to a web page, as you can see by the attached
image "HIRED", the lettering/text doesn't look clear. It is Arial 11 on a
transparent background.
Gimp 2.8

The link to the home page "Home" is attached. it is not part of the logo, 
but
looks much clearer on the web page.

Is there something I can do to help make the logo text sharper/clearer?

Any help will be appreciated.
