If you were to take a screenshot of this text and look at it, it would be monochromatic black & white. When I create a font, how do I do this too? How do I keep my font from looking all smudgy and blurry from being anti-aliased when at small sizes? Thanks.
Search this website on Hinting.
From the Format menu, Smoothing, delete any grayscale settings.
Fonts like Times New Roman seems to have both. When large, it uses anti-aliasing. But at sizes like 10, it is mono. When I take my fonts down that small without the grayscale applied what happens is that the skinnier parts of the letter just get whited out. The letter looks fragmented. So I figure that at those sizes, they just built the characters pixel by pixel rather than using vectors. How do I fix this?
Those fonts are manually hinted by experts using specialized tools like Visual TrueType (VTT) from Microsoft.
