S BENZ, this is what we're talking about. Note the three circled checkboxes. When you're lettering, all three should be checked. (Unless the letters are really small, then hinting gets in the way.) Also, Arial is probably not the best font to use; antialiasing works better with a slightly "curvier" font.
Hey Toawa, would you mind sharing that font Segoe print bold? I'm using XP so it doesn't come with it natively...and Microsoft is asking thirty dollars to download it. It just looks so much better than everything else for yukkuri speak
