How can I do it? Most fonts used on puters come in only 2 weights, normal and bold. Nicolas Mailhot's reply touched on the reason why. The best workaround if you aren't using a flat panel display at its normal resolution is to raise the resolution to the maximum your hardware supports. Higher resolutions provide more px per character to work with, and thus look better and have a more uniform weight at any given physical size. http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-comps-commonweight.html and/or http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-weights.html might help you visualize. -- "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
