Sounds like an anti-aliasing problem; in Photoshop 6, select the text 
tool and look at the toolbar that runs across the top of the screen; 
between the font size and alignment settings there's a popup list 
(marked by 2 little 'a's). The list contains the anti-aliasing 
settings 'none', 'crisp','strong', and 'smooth'. Setting it to 'none' 
should stop Photoshop trying to smooth out small text and keep things 
looking sharp.
