I have heard many, many answers to this question but I'm hoping there is a diamond in the rough out there that is a true typopimp.
AI to PS paste text over isn't sharp enough at smaller sizes.
I hear that 7/50, 9/25, and 11.2/10 using Din, or Helv Nue is the way to go...but it's not really all that sharp.
Is there another way rather than using bitmap fonts?
thanks NT

Your using type in photoshop? bleah. Type tends to render better in vector, also in ps mess around with the antialiasing settings, might heed some result. Just don't expect a super final product if the types rasterized.

"AI to PS paste text over isn't sharp enough at smaller sizes. "

yeah sorry I wasn't clear, was kind of typing on the fly.
This is for web, I've tried the the best of my abilities to get the text sharp as possible. what gets the best results for me is bringing the line art and fext into flash, setting each on whole pixels, box placement at top left,with anti-aliased text. Now for some product images I tried both AI and PS using Din at 9/25(sharp) on whole px. It's still not as clean as I would like. I like the suggestion of dup layers in PS. I'll give that a go.

Any more tricks of the trade for font crisping?
If I get really desperate for answers I'll make a new thread called "2A and font crisping" :o)
