Hmmm so I like to use fonts like 04B and such for icons and image mapping on my layouts, but in photoshop, when I make them like 6pt or smaller, they still come out HUGE? Is there way to change that? Because those fonts look so bad when they're big.

ALSO. I usually use Animation Shop3 for animate .gifs, but obviously since I dont have PSP7 I cant. What would you recommend for that?

it depends wut time of pixel font u got, some require u to bring it smaller than 6pt, and for pixel fonts, idk for ur programs, but in photoshop, the text editor box, u change it to "none" rather than smooth to getthat crisp solid font. mayb just try shrinking it more

You shouldn't change the size of the pixel fonts at all. They're designed for one particular size - for example 7 pixels. They'll either not work in smaller size, or just look ugly.

If you need smaller pixel fonts - you have to pick another one, with native size being smaller.

nothing wrong with making it small, all depends on the font, some mite look weird, some mite look good, but making it bigger than it is will def ruing the look. just have the style on "none" and making it small still looks exactly the same but smaller.
