Which tool is the best if you want to render (2D) TTF/OTF fonts at small sizes so that they stay crisp and sharp with a tiny antialiasing?

I know about the font settings in Photoshop CS but i need more than that so has Photoshop improved in this aspect in CS2 or CS3? Are there any differences between the win and osx versions? Any other method getting better results in photoshop - beside of doing the pixelwork on your own?

Any other paint program better in this aspect like Paint Shop Pro, Fireworks, Gimp, Pixelmator, ... or is there a tool around which is perfect for just rendering fonts?

Thanks,

taumel
