convert the bitmap to a vector. (modify>bitmap>trace bitmap).

experiment with the settings to get a vector with sufficient fidelity.

how can i make it clear and sharp for desktop

1. use a font that's legible in small size.

2. deployment target isn't relevant.  resizing is relevant and that's problematic for all bitmaps and not problematic for vectors.

You could possibly try the smaller text using dynamic text if you aren't already? It is crisp.

Also, I remember watching a tutorial that mentioned something that might help is placing your text box on rounded up/down pixels on the x and y. For example, if your text box properties say x = 5.3 px and the y = 6.8 px for placement then I would round the x down to 5px and the round the y up to 7px. You could give this a try.

But I use dynamic text as much as possible. It has it's restrictions for styling and sometimes browser placement but overall I am happy with its crispness.

Good luck!
