Do you mean you want it to look like rendered HTML text? Tell her to use
an HTML-friendly font, lik arial, verdana, etc. Then make sure
Anti-Aliasing is set to NONE for that text layer. Also, it could just be
the font she's using. Some fonts don't render well at certain sizes.
Other than that, there shouldn't be too much else she has to do. The key
is to play with the anti-aliasing setting for that text layer. If you
want smooth, graphical text items, they will always be blurry to a
degree, as that's what anti-aliasing does to get rid of the jaggies.
What version of Photoshop? PS 7 and above seem to render text more
smoothly than older versions, as they do them vector-based.
