[WEB4LIB] RE: What's good design? :-)

[Jeff Remley]

If you have to go with such a small font, I've got a little trick I use in 
Photoshop that might help you...

After typing your small, antialiased text in one layer, place a copy of 
that layer on top of itself.  It's not the same effect as bolding - 
instead it seems to flesh out the antialiased area a bit more, beefing 
up the graphical text.

Doesn't always work, but it's worth a try.
