What programme do you guys use to create icons? Normal one and animated ones?

Photoshop - and it sucks! >_< I can't do text properly... so I think I shall go in search of another programme... hmm, I haven't tried painter classic... is that any good I wonder... *wanders off to experiment*

Animated ones? I used to use the U Lead Gif Animator thing... until it died on me. ^^;

Try hunting down pixel fonts. That's probably your biggest font issue there, not photoshop. Also pixel fonts look and read better with either the text aliasing set to strong or off completely. If you're using script fonts, make sure you use some that are thick and that can read at small fonts. There are some but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Good sites for pixel fonts. The 2nd is a compilation of sites.
