Hi,

Try changing kerning from Metric to Optical.


Another option is to switch off Fractional Widths.

Can you make the PSD available for download?

Hope this helps :-)

Assign this option in paragraph menu. It worked for me.

It could be helpful to describe exactly how you created the text you're showing here.  Is it upscaled from a smart object? 

I ask because it's also fuzzier than it ought to be, implying it's been rasterized at some point.

Edit:  Never mind, I see I'm too slow.
