I am using the excellent Adobe Fireworks program to do my net graphics - as seen in some of the amazing siggeeezes here - how can I increase the quality of the text in my graphics so that they are all neat and crisp?

I'm not really sure what you want mate. Can you post an example of the jaggy text you've been producing?
 
In what regard? Standard text, or images? The ones used by default in these forums (verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif) are very easy on the eyes.


edit: beaten again!
 
I like . . .

verdana!

Anyway - one more Q for you - how do I create foreground text in Adobe Fireworks OR how do I create foreground text in HTML so that I can add it on top of images I have created?

Foreground text = text that search engines etc can read and that you and i can copy from a webpage ie NOT part of the graphic - (my definition)

Now you're asking more of an HTML Graphics & Programming question. Depending on how you're laying out your page, though, you would probably set the image as a background (either within a table or a div), then you can put text on top of it.

Metatags are good also, iirc, for getting searchable content.
 
Set the image as a CSS background - of a header tag if the image is a header, otherwise a <div>. Remember to set the height of the element if there's no content in it.

Put the text inside the element.

If you only want the text to show up to search engines, give it a big negative indent. e.g. text-indent: -5000px.
