In depth
A closer look at Sharptype
Sharptype can provide
far sharper type than the built-in Photoshop engine, which will improve your
compositions' readability dramatically. Sharptype is similar to Microsoft Cleartype
and Adobe Cooltype, it uses a distinct method to render font, and does not use
functional routines provided by operating system, and however, it optimizes
vector information to sharpen the vertical and horizontal lines. Sharptype provides
5 rendering methods and 3 enhancing modes, and currently has support of Truetype
and Opentype fonts.
