....... Bold them. o.O
Or.... Are you talking about the stroke? If so.... Right-click on the text when you see the cursor with an 'a' and select properties.

Make the stroke smaller... Somewhere between .5 and .05 should work. =S Other than that... Can't tel you anything, because it's not blurry when I use the stroke.

I don't know about other PSP users, but I've found that adding a stroke on PSP will add the stroke inside the letters, instead of on the outside, like on PS. Which is a royal pain, I will admit. That's probably what's making your text blurry.

yeah...i tried switching the anti-alisas to off, and it became less blurry but still kinda unreadable. so does that mean you can't make words like that on psp? :(

The nice thing about PSP is that you can adjust the size of the stoke to decimal points. Something between .5 and .05... On size six.
It looks okay. -shrug-

Type whatever you want in PSP. Make sure it's still selected and go to Selection> Modify > Expand. Enter 1. Fill black. Type the same word again in any color you want and put it on top.
