    Simple question, when you are designing a website in photoshop do you add AA (anti alias) onto headers or content text?

    I know lots of people who say yes, and lots that say no.

    I only anti-alias the text on my headers. I find that a header without anti-aliased text looks rather shoddy and unfitting.

    I'm with mixtheINFO - only anti-aliasing on headers. Smaller text looks ok left aliased.

    Is it not better, to work native?
    IE shows AA fonts. Firefox not automaticly. The user must activate "clearType" in Windows.
    Im working in PS without AA, when the result is www.
