Silver Surfer Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 For those of you with expertise in these things what font has the best sharpness when used for labels on illustrations? It's certainly not Arial based on my limited experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJXD Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 What do you mean by sharpness? Quote |My Sig Tut| Deviant Art |Advanced Grunge Texture|My Gallery The Birthplace of Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Perhaps clarity is a better descriptor. Crisp. Distinct edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Around what size are you looking to use? Some fonts look great small, but terrible at larger sizes, and vice-versa.

Silver Surfer Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Probably looking at 10 point and sometimes 12. I have noticed that Arial rounded looks much, much better than plain old Arial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 At size 10, Visitor looks great, very crisp and sharp (maybe because it's very square). You should turn :AntiAliasingOff: on and change "Smooth" to "Sharp."

Silver Surfer Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hmmmmm. Don't seem to have "visitor" in my font collection. I assume it can be found with some Googling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
