thanks for your answer!

i am not combining images though. they just get scaled. is this the
same problem then?

i also tried this on the server of a friend now which uses imagemagick
(instead of graphicsmagick) and while scaled transparent pngs look a
lot less broken it doesn't really work there either. there lots of
"firefly" pixels and the transparency is much less exact (doesn't look
like gif transparency though - more like the alpha channel has extreme
jpg artifacts :)).

cheers,
horace
