Pixel/Mini Font

[FFC2004]

I have 3 types of pixel fonts, but none of them is very small. Where can I get some really small fonts to put on my graphics?
I went to a website and it gave the number of pixels next to it. Do I want less pixels or more pixels?


thanks

What?
You can change the size of fonts you know...just don't enable anti-aliasing and the font will look alright.
As a general rule don't use anti-aliasing on fonts smaller than 12px.

I knew you could change the font size... lol.

Ok. I wont enable it anymore. What does anti-aliasing do?

it makes small fonts sharper

Actually anti-aliasing makes small fonts less sharp. What it basically does is smoothen the transition between the font and the background, however when the font is small (12px or below, usually) the transition gives the font a blurred and sometimes distorted look, that's when disable anti-aliasing and it will not fill in any pixels (ie. smoothen the transition) between the font and the background.

Here's an example for ya.
