Smoothing text edges

To smooth out a text edge, anti-alias it. The edges of the text blend into the background. This can make the text cleaner and more readable.

Use the Text Editor to set anti-aliasing. Anti-aliasing applies to all characters in a given text block.

To apply an anti-aliased edge to selected text:

1 Open the Text Editor.
2 From the Anti-Alias pop-up menu in the Text Editor, choose an option: Crisp, Strong, or Smooth.
