I just purchased this font and I seemed to notice it looks very different to one of the samples they provide. I did a side by side comparison of their sample and me entering the text on photoshop and I think the difference is quite strong. I have gone through the text rendering options on photoshop and neither come close to what I'm seeing in the sample.

Here's the comparison:
(font sample above, my text below.)



What would you guys suggest I do to get as close a match as the one in the sample?

I found that using the "Text" version of the font, and downsampling it, I could get a much more accurate representation of the text:



Thanks everyone!

Let's look your rows closer and adjusted to same greyscale:



Tracking and kerning has been discussed in another answer, but there's one pixel differences in rasterizing. Possible reasons:


in Photoshop there are anti-aliasing options which give radically different results in low resolution
rasterized in different software (some software can allow subpixel placement in the pixel grid and use different rasterization algorithm)
low resolution rasterizing use hinting and that can theoretically be different in different formats of the same font
fonts are developed - is the version exactly same?


Here's a random screenshot in Photoshop. Two texts use different antialiasing methods, otherwise they are same.



I do not believe you get exactly the same result as the sample in resolution this low if they are rasterized in different software.

Is your kerning set to Optical? If so, I would suggest setting it to 0 or Metrics.

Otherwise, I would probably have to increase the tracking until they look alike.
