It looks a TAD jagged, but not to bad. The problem lies in the graphic
design. (Not saying yours is bad). Im saying that when you make a graphic or
image or whatever youd like to call it and then place that image online, some
quality is lost. Unless you want to make your image in a 300-400 dpi range,
and then save it like that. The problem is that the image size is huge when
you do that. What DPI are you making your graphics in?

there's no point saving at high res. browsers display at 100% ie. 1 dot
= 1 pixel.

i think the text looks ok.

True Browsers DO display like that. However, an image is made with different
DPIs. The more DPIs when making a graphic, the smoother the graphic will look.
The browser will display the image it is given dot for dot. If it is a poor
quality image it will display a poor quality image. If it is a high quality
image it will display a high quality image. DPI is one of the biggest assests
or pitfalls of graphic design.

Some fonts are meant for print only, and it takes a lot of work to make
them look good on screen. Using an outline and drop shadow, as you have,
merely emphasizes the jagged outline. Try a screen font, or try less
contrast between the text and the background.
