[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1613268, member: 38864"] I decided for kicks to put some sample text in Pages with one line using Helvetica's bold variant, the second line in Helvetica Neue's bold variant. Here's a screen cap: [ATTACH=FULL]21142[/ATTACH] Anyone notice anything? The second line is a tad shorter despite having the same text. Basically that means that Helvetica Neue is a bit more "squashed" than Helvetica is. Additionally, zoom in and look at the differences in some of the letters. The upper case T in Helvetic Neue is thicker than the same on Helvetica. Ditto for the lowercase h, i, and a handful of others. If you take all this into consideration, along with how effects like drop shadows and transparencies can have an effect on how the text is perceived, it should be no surprise that the text does look fuzzier than before.
