Font to use in a Gif

[Celine Murphy <cm...@hemscott.co.uk>]

Hi,
 
What is the best font to use when creating a gif for a pdf. Currently I am
using a gif with sans serif in the legend and it appears broken and hardly
visible in the pdf although when I view the gif outside the pdf it looks
fine. Any ideas??
 
Thanks.

Roland,
I second your advice. 
 
Celine, a GIF is a graphics file and once you've saved it, it doesn't
know anything about the fonts that were used to create it. I feel sure
that Roland's suggestion will solve your problem.

Cheers
Philip

Celine,

The only suggestion I have is that you might be resizing the image & this will make any font inside it look bad. Make sure the image & the space allotted are the same size.

Cheers,
Roland
