Hi, I'm currently doing some 72*72 icons for my phone and ive encoutered some problems with text. When i try to put some text in the icon it's all blurry and unreadable, completely unreadable. Tried to type large text in another image and then move it to my icon but its the same thing. Any ideas?

Best to post an example of the blurry text. You should be able to obtain clear type on an icon that size.

I would guess turn off aliasing (anti-aliasing) and or choose a bitmap font.

I tried every anti aliasing option. Where do I find a bitmap font?

Could you make a vector image in illustrator and move it to PhotoShop? Or maybe it doesn't work with text?
