the very first post in our FAQ list (and another one a few down the list) explains why text might appear too small or too big. it probably tops the list of most-asked questions in this comm and why it's in the FAQ and memories more than once.
wait, are you wanting to actually crop an icon from that image? or just use text from it to create your own text icon? if the former, then yeah, as ibonekoen points out below, the text is bound to be nearly unreadable after cropping.
Which part of the text are you wanting to icon? If it's the whole thing, that's not really an image that's conducive to icon-making. That's a lot of text to try to fight into a 100x100 pixel square.
Not the whole image, but just bits of the text, like "I really am full of love..." Every time I try to make a close up icon of it, it comes out unreadable.
Can you show me an example of the end result you're looking for? I'm away from my software right now so I can't play around with it, but what I'm picturing in my head, the text is too just too big to fit well in a 100x100 square and still be readable.
they way that i would do it would be to increase the resolution of the first image, as the pixulisation when you enlarge the image would be due to the resolution

I did look there, but maybe I missed it.
