Anti-aliasing Type
Anti-aliasing affects the pixels on the edge of text by allowing them to blend in with the
background. It is a crucial feature when working with text as it makes it appear smoother
and more integrated. The drawback with anti-aliasing is that at smaller font sizes the text
can appear blurry. To avoid this problem, use sans serif text, such as Helvetica or Arial,
and don't use bold and italic. You apply anti-aliasing to text boxes instead of individual
characters. The anti-aliasing settings are saved along with the document and supported for
PDF, AIT, and EPS formats.
