I too was looking for a version of Adobe Photoshop's Text Anti-Aliasing feature, as I needed 8pt font in a graphic to be readable when displayed online. I had tried the suggestions here, but it still didn't quite look right. After spending about an hour playing around with the curves, I found the following to best mimic Adobe's "Crisp" preset. Hope this helps anyone looking for the same (not the vertical line is to the left of center):
