Fonts in X [Off Topic]

[Paul Rightley <pright@lanl.gov>]

I have been using gimp to produce some overheads lately (in the
hope that I can finally rid myself of the necessity of booting
into and Windows product).  However, when I create large text
(like 50 pixels high), it looks pretty pixelated - even if the
image itself has a much higher resolution.  Is there a way to
make smoother text?  Since gimp seems to use the X fonts, maybe
I just need a scalable (?) font in X?  I know nothing about adding
fonts to X (that are not conveniently provided by a debian
package).

Thanks for any assistance (even if it is just the fm to r),

Paul

P.S.  Thanks for the outstanding debian distribution, and the
support found on this list.
