Hi all,

I have written an Ecard application which takes text input from the
user on one .aspx page and renders the message to a template .jpg and
displays the results on a 2nd .aspx page. The trouble is that my fonts
render fine on my local host machine but very jaggie on the server. IIS
5.1 is being used on my local host and our server is running windows
2000, IIS 5.0. However, my IT guy tells me there is no fundamental
differences between the two and it shouldn't affect my drawing output.
Here is my code:

===========================

 Sub renderUserImage(ByVal srcImage As String, ByVal destImage As
String)
        Dim strFileName, newImagePath As String
        newImagePath = Server.MapPath("EcardsRendered/" & destImage &
".jpg")
        strFileName = srcImage

        Dim newImageFormat As System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat

        newImageFormat = System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg

        ' create New image and bitmap objects.
        Dim i As System.Drawing.Image =
System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(strFileName)

        ' Render the users messag here
        Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(i)

        g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality

        g.InterpolationMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.High

        Dim sf As StringFormat =
CType(StringFormat.GenericTypographic.Clone(), StringFormat)
        sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center ' near, far or
center (paragraph)
        sf.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center

        ' Fontsize adjustments:
        If Me.UserFont = 0 Then
            Me.DynFontSize = DynFontSize + 1
        End If

        If Me.UserFont = 1 Then
            Me.DynFontSize = DynFontSize - 1
        End If

        If Me.UserFont = 3 Then
            Me.DynFontSize = DynFontSize + 2
        End If

        ' Build the drawstring dynamically:

        g.DrawString(UserMessage, New Font(StrChosenFont, DynFontSize,
FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, New RectangleF(354, 58, 224, 274),
sf)

        g.Dispose()
end sub

==============================

any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
