I have a graphic with text I render using Show.

g= Show[Graphics[ 
			Text[StyleForm["This is a
test",FontSize->12],{320,240}]],
		AspectRatio->Automatic,PlotRange->{{0,640},{0,480}}]


Then  I want to save it as a GIF file, so I do:

Display["c:\\windows\\desktop\\test.gif",g,"GIF"]

unfortunately it is not usable because the text in the GIF result looks
really bad.

any idea on how to solve this?
