Avoid Jagged Type With Illustrator's Save for Web
Q: I have been using Adobe Illustrator CS4 to create typographic images for the web by using the Save for Web & Devices... option. When I upgraded to CS5, the images looked really jagged.

"I want to thank you for the great workshop last Friday. You dusted off and reinforced all of those typographic rules that I have, and have not, lived by in all my years as a graphic designer."
