How do I control whether type layers create web text or graphics?

---

There are 2 ways to control whether type layers appear as text or graphics on the web pages SiteGrinder builds:

The "-text" and "-g" SiteGrinder Hints

The -text hint forces a text layer to be built as text. The -g hint will make a graphic instead. The -text hint can be used in conjunction with other hints, such as "Navigation-text-menu"

The Photoshop anti-aliasing setting (recommended)

If a type layer that lacks the -text or -g hints is anti-aliased it will result in a graphic. If the anti-alias is set to "None" then it will be output as text. This is useful because you can determine visually in the document which layers will result in text and which in graphics.
