Outline on my text

I am using SDL to make a game. I am starting on the menu system, and decided to start with the text. I have a load.cpp and load.h for loading the images and stuff, and also have a color key for 0x00, 0xFF,0x00, this color is magenta. In photoshop I set the background to this color, which in RGB is 255,0,255. I put the text in, and saved it as bmp. When I loaded it in, the magenta was transparent (which is what I wanted) but their was a faint outline of magenta around the text. How can this be solved ? Should I add a black stroke around the text?

Could you post a screenshot and code please? I'm not familiar with SDL (but this is probably an easy thing to solve).

Also, haven't seen you on AIM in a while. I've been making models on my own, I didn't know if you were still interested (I still use the turret and minigun models you made).

Perhaps the font texture is interpolated so the magenta you see isn't exactly 0x00FF00 but perhaps ~0x11EE11 or something?

Ok, let me see if I can get a picture. The print screen wasnt working, maybe cause i'm using SDL_Delay to keep the window open?

EDIT- Ok i got it now, Check the attachment

Make sure Antialiasing is not turned on in photoshop when creating these textures.

Aye, sir. That worked perfectly! I can't believe I didn't think of that.

Bob, you make models of your own!? Oh boy, they must look awesome, because your so 1337! :P I'm always on, I never see you on, did you change your name or something?

I found a tutorial that seems to have helped me with this problem. It's all about sprites, and it adresses the problem I had with the magenta "mist" around my text. The tutorial is here.
