UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Design, Style and Graphics sig text

hey guys any tips on making really small text look decent.

ive tried silkscreen, but it doesnt look very good...

Try it with a hard edge, no anti-alias

Here's an example, just look at the difference in clarity. Both are at 8pt...

Look at my signature block below...I used a Tahoma 8-point font, printed it on a browser, captured it on print screen, then pasted THAT into Corel Paint 7. Then I increased View by zooming it to 1600%. (It was the only way I could tell where the pixels landed.)

Then I painted the appropriate pixels into Microangelo GIFted and animated the rest of the sig. A long way around, indeed, but I wanted the text to be as crisp as possible.

DCS, normal text like this you are reading now can be acheived by doing what I said above, just using no anti-alias. That's all this is, normal font without anti-alias. Anti-alias is only good really on font sizes 15pt+

thanks for the help guys
