How PhotoShop actually works on this? Does the varying degrees of the
anti-aliasing mean that PS uses a varying quality resampler?
What is the actual problem? The text image is scaled down to a smaller
pixmap and thus the text becomes blurry?
The solution is to still use high quality resampler because thin lines
vanish in basic point sampling resampler, for example. Check
http://www.funet.fi/~kouhia/textrescaling.html
for how GhostView does it badly.
My suggestions are:
(i) make text ink wider before scaling,
(ii) use small fonts (they are typically wider) with high resolution
and scale them up, a bold font should work too,
(iii) use curves/levels operations on the greyscale image after scaling
to adjust the grey to more black.
An unsharp mask (after scaling) works too, but I don't recommend it.

Juhana
