You can choose if your font should be crisp, sharp, smooth, strong or none.
It is next to where you choose the size of your font.

And you will find that in the Character properties toolbox and it's called aliasing.

Was 'realistic' the actual term you were looking for?

"realistic" is the right term.

You'll never get "realistic" font display on any Windows machine. The font rendering engines they use do not determine realistic character widths and the font smoothing they use isn't up to much. It's the main reason the Mac has always been favoured by print designers.

As they said above, changing the anti-aliasing settings will help. But then as soon as you code anything into HTML, you'll lose that as it appears in the browser because font display is controlled by the system. You can alter the settings in Windows I believe, but I can't remember where. Control Panels, I expect. Display preferences.

There are small option to make smooth fonts in photoshop so you can use it.
