Hey designers,
Can anyone give me a heads up about why these certain text-based transparent pngs are looking great in every browser except for IE (and it's IE 8 NO compatibility mode for that matter). I've trieds dozens of different save settings from Photoshop, and as you can see the Icon at the top which is also a transparent png looks fine, but I can't for the life of me figure out why this text is ugly around the edges. Even tried recreating the graphic in a different program (Flash) and got similarly crappy results. Also tried a different (but similar) font, similar results.
In all my years, I've never seen this exact problem before. Maybe I am just brain-dead from starting at a screen for 20 hours. Anyone help a guy out with some wisdom?
