This community is mostly unmoderated, but there are a few guidelines & rules we ask you to follow and keep in mind when posting entries and comments here.
Hinting: Uses the indices of adjustment to modify the characters in order to produce clear letters in small font sizes.
Force Auto-Hinter: Auto Hinter tries to automatically compute information for better representation of the character font.
Antialiasing: Antialiasing will render the text with much smoother edges and curves. This is achieved by slight blurring and merging of the edges. This option can radically improve the visual appearance of the rendered typeface. Caution should be exercised when using antialiasing on images that are not in RGB color space.
Anyway, thanks for the tutorial! Simple, yet eye-catching.
