How to Use Fonts in Photoshop (Mac or PC)

Adobe Fonts (used to be called Typekit) is available as a standalone or as part of Adobe’s Creative Cloud service. Choose the fonts you need from a library featuring thousands of stunning options, and then use them wherever you need them—on your desktop, on the web, or both—bringing a new level of consistency to the work you produce online and in print.

A method of making graphics and text (mainly text) appear smoother and sharper by resampling the edges.

Difference of Alias text vs Anti-alias text

The line on the top is aliased — meaning it is solely comprised of solid pixels (black, in this case). 

Anti-aliased is at the bottom — meaning the edge has been slightly obscured with grey pixels.
