PhotoShop and HTML are two different mediums. They will never and should never be expected to match visually down to the pixel.

In fact, the process of 'convert this PSD into a web page' is pretty much an antiquated methodology. It's not a practical way to do things anymore.

To answer your question, you will never replicate the rendering of type in PhotoShop to match the rendering of type in the browser. There's many variables:


typefaces. The PSD may be using typefaces not even available on the end-user's computer. You'd have to convert the fonts into web-font formats (provided the license allows for it) and then use CSS to declare them.
font size. You can only 'suggest' a font size in HTML/CSS. Even then, it may vary from screen to screen, system to system, end-user preference to end-user preference
font rendering. PhotoShop tends to use custom font-smoothing methods to render the type. These will all be quite different than the font-smoothing methods the browser and/or operating system is using to render fonts in the browser. Typically, fonts will look slightly bolder in PhotoShop than in the browser.
