Just wondering what the best practice is for putting text on top of colour in a graphic item. I made a box with orange in it in illustrator, added white text on top of it. dropped it into FW, made the settings png, millions with no AA. The text just looks a little blurry around the edges, but is way better than it look saving it as a jpg. Im wondering if i am doing this the wrong way, or that the contrast between orange and white is just not there. I thought i would get sharp text. Any thoughts? Sorry there is not link at the moment.

Any reason why you don’t add your text in FW on top of the Illustrator graphic.
Then you can play with the AA settings until you are happy.

Cheers David. I will do.
I was hoping to try some web fonts with this. Do you know if typekit works in the same way as google webfonts?

They all work in a similar way fontface is another.

Just realised that Typekit is a subscription service - why pay when you can do it for free!

My Caxton Action should help you get FontSquirrel fonts working in a Freeway generated site.
