Does anyone reading this know what program was used to create the splash.pcx file that is the first thing coming up when the CD boots? It has a small text in the new font saying 'ubuntu' with a subtle glow around the text. My trials as a beginning GIMP user to recreate it using the text 'kiwi linux' resulted in a coarser look of the font after glow and a blur effects were applied and the palette is disturbed leading to the menu items having a dark purple background.

If the original was done using Gimp or Inkscape and someone knows the steps to achieve that effect - that exact effect in that image, not glowing effects in general as I have looked at a few tutorials before trying my hand at it - I'd be grateful if they shared their tips in the comments.
Maybe the original needs to be done in a certain way so that it can be converted to pcx and 256 colors without loss of quality.
