why crappy text?

Hi,

I only very occasionally use the Gimp and am trying to do something that looks 
as if it ought to be straightforward but which isn't working.

I need to make a text box for a web site that will have a transparent 
background. I can make the box, type in the text, set the background 
transparency and export the graphic as a gif.   All works as expected except 
that the text is horribly coarse and grainy. Deja Vu Serif 18 point using 
gimp 2.4.5 in Fedora 7. I've tried with anti-aliasing and hinting both on and 
off with no difference.

Ideas?

Dave
