Existing users, 
To the people who are complaining about iWeb producing images for text blocks. You should make it clear to other readers that this does not happen with all text blocks. This is due to corrupt fonts. See this hint at macosxhints.
A few seconds of search would have allowed you to make a correct statement of the problem, instead of slamming the entire product. iWeb is a great application and really brings the promise of easy web publishing to everyone.

Thanks for the tip on disabliing the 2.90 Ariel fonts. I've done this.Obviously you are skilled at Mac us and there are others like you. On the other hand there are sincere individuals making real efforts to utilize program, e.g. iWeb who are having problems. These problems may NOT be caused by their carelessness in keeping their systems up to date or because they have a lot of junk: add-ons, or suspect freeware, even bad shareware on their computer.
I have used Macs now for about seven years at least, and one reason people who use Macs, do use them is because they are supposed to be more "user friendly" --and I think they are.
However----if this problem of publishing text blocks as PNG image files can really be eliminiated by disabliing certain Ariel fonts there are two comments to be made:
1. Why did not Mac sent out something about this or why isn't there something about this on Apple iWeb forums?
2. I will send a letter to Mac Addict setting them straight or at least pointing out that they should have known about this Ariel font problem.
----Oh--one more thing: I assume then that this problem with bloated text/image files is ONLY happening to users of Ariel fonts. That's really something, isn't it.
Try to be patient with the less gifted, and even more tolerant of the whiners.
