The Helvetica one is 1 pixel lower because of AA on the top of the font. I love Helvetica, but I think the Arial one came out better.
Much better than the engine rendering, but not quite good as the Windows rendering. If you type the ratings text in Word or any other text processor and select, say, Arial bold, you'll see that the result is much better.
I've just tried it and I think the result is much better, what do you think? The problem with my previous image was definitely with the kerning...

Actually, I'd make the whole thing including text one big image quad with the logo and text all in one and forego the .lua file inclusion since that's really how it is in the end. One big image that gets displayed at startup.
You're right, the tigrs utility is a helper function that makes it easy to generate a rating box without having to use an image editor but it doesn't offer much flexibility.
