Oh fonts, when will you not suck?

One of the most painful aspects of being a designer is realizing to what extent how crappy things look outside of Photoshop. Almost as a rule, things look crappier when they are real.

Engineers: Hey, Steve, check it out, it's done.
Steve: WTF. This looks like ass. Make it look like the comp, or your ass is toast.
