I have recently developed a liking towards text based design. I have always designed my websites entirely using photoshop and then moved on to coding.

The thing that bugs me(and makes it difficult to do such designs) is how anti aliased text looks on photoshop and then how it looks entirely different on the browser when its coded using the same font. For example fonts like Lucida Grande/Sans Unicode, look terrible on photoshop and great on the browser once coded (as we know).

I was wonder if theres something im doing wrong, or is there sort of setting that could fix this problem?

I am using CS2 on the windows platform

thanks in advance



EDIT: I do mean aliased text , anti aliased text obviously is totally different.

I use typetester for that purpose as well. There must be an easier way :)

Just use aliased text.. if you can make your layout look good with that it'll look VERY good in browser. I always use that method.

I should have made that clear in the post, but I do mean aliased text. But even aliased text looks totally different in the browser compared to photoshop.

John, if you don't mind, I will be saving that image and using it for future reference. I would've tested this myself but my computer's physical limitations prevents me from using Photoshop 7 (yes, 7) for a long time.

Thanks,
