Dear Peter,

I’ve just read your article on ‘Cleartype Text in IE7’. I am a user experience designer/art director who regularly creates visual designs of websites in Adobe Photoshop CS3.

I have a question that I am trying to find out the answer to, which is proving to be quite the mystery/problem.

Here’s my question: Is there anyway to mimic clear type displayed in an IE7 browser, in Photoshop CS3 (on a PC)?

As you probably know there are 4 different options of anti aliasing text in Photoshop, but none of them truly represent how the text will appear when it’s been coded up and displayed in IE7.

Please, please help. If you know any way of finding this information out I would be forever grateful.

Many thanks,

Hope you have a great day!

Who are you trying to address?

You do know that you’re posting to a publicly-accessible, user-driven forum, right?

The simplest way is to create the output you want, and paste a screen capture, into your final reault.

I’ve also seen at least one freeware that does a modified version of cleartype. I beleive it was done by someone at the MIT media lab, so you may be able to google for it.
