[color=darkblue]Hi! Why do I get a blurry font like, EVERY TIME I type something in Photoshop? I mean, I can’t seem to get a font or a size which isn’t blurry (unless I use a font size 18 or bigger). But when I want to type something small, it’s always blurry. What am I doing wrong? And errr… there are some nice pixel fonts for flash (I have some from [www.fontsforflash.com](http://www.fontsforflash.com), the freebies :P), but they don’t seem to work in PS. Are there any good pixel fonts for Photoshop too? WHO WON’T BLUR 😉 K, cya [/color] ---

well have you checked the text aliasing options ??? Normally true type fonts wont render ugly/blurry if you check some of the options ---
