There is a couple ways to minimise the effect.Before adding your gradient, select your text and turn the selection to a path then back to a selection to add your gradient.You can also try to blur your text a little. To keep it reasonably sharp select the text then add a 1-2 pixel border and only blur that
I did try Antialising. Even tried switching it off and ON to see how it affects.
Still to try selection to path. Not sure where the option, will try to hunt it down.
Making the selection grow by a few pixels does sound like a great idea.
Thanks.
