I have been making glitternames for a forum for a long time, having always used the method here
http://www.glittertheworld.com/multiglitter.html
and they have come out fine like this

The net4tv site has been down all night so I used http://studio.imagemagick.org/MagickStu ... Studio.cgi (and two of the other ones I have seen on here)
The name I am trying to do for a forum member is coming up on the view as normal, but when I then output it, it comes out like this

HELP!!
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I am sure it's something obvious!!
Many thanks
