Jagged Letters

[Robin]

Here I am again! I'm seriously thinking something is wrong on my computer. I uploaded a sample of a page I'm working on in the PS class 2 titled "Pumpkin Page". Here's the link:

Can everyone tell me if you think the white letters in "Pumpkin" look jagged? They do on my screen, plus they print that way to. Does anyone have any insight to what the problem can be? Letter also look jagged in other programs I have as well, not just PS. Please help! Thank You!

What font is it? Since you don't have the Text Tool active, I can't see the options bar, but on the right side of the bar when the Text Tool is active, there will be two small icons " aa " and you click on that. Set it to Smooth and see if that helps.
If the font is supposed to be wiggly, you'll have to choose another if the Smooth anti-aliasing doesn't help it. It looks awfully bumpy to have that be the problem, though...

Also, make sure you working at atleast 200ppi :)

I had the font on Dialog, but changed it to Vogue, Arial, and some other ones and they all did the same thing. I did have the "aa" on strong, but changed it to "smooth". Didn't much make a difference.

How do I tell if it's set to 200ppi? I have it on 300dpi, if that's the same.

What else could it be?
Thank You for helping me! We'll get this figured out, I hope!
