Looking with Win 95 Netscape and IE your underlined text is bitmaps that

have the squared pixel look of text that is not anti-aliased. The

underlined text is definately bitmaps and not text because when you

toggle Quality from High to Low there is only a very slight change.


Are you unhappy with the results?

I would increase the kerning of the letters just slightly to improve

their legitability. Since they are bitmaps this needs to be done before

bringing into Flash. Note the Wh in What's actually run together.
