another excellent option in using the font of your choice in your designs. textorize is a ruby script that creates png’s of text in any font for osx users. its ‘shining star’ feature is that it takes advantage of osx’s sub-pixel anti-aliasing when creating png’s. that’s something photoshop still can’t even do! it does have its shortcomings though: it needs a background color and there are the implied accessibility issues of turning text into images. that said, it is still an excellent option in certain situations.
