Poor font quality

[riespies]

How can i get the font quality better

<?php
$im = @imagecreate(420, 90);
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);

$black = imagecolorallocate($im,0,0,0);
imagettftext($im, 8, 0, 5, 29, $black, "arial.ttf","Quality is not very good");

imagecolortransparent($im, $background_color);

imagepng ($im);
imagedestroy ($im);

?>

Thanx again....

Use a truecolor image.

Works good, the text is very sharp but my background stays in black and should be trasparant. What i'm doing wrong...???

A truecolor image starts off all black. So, you have to fill it with a color. In your case, whichever color is transparent.
