A possible argument against Photshop (and similar tools) is that they lead you to create a look that you will never ever get quite correct in a Web page. Assorted fonts, kerning, leading, and so on may not be reproducible in CSS.
On the other hand, if you are mindful of these things, it's a big help to have multiple layers and such that you can easily move, swap around, etc.

Like any powerful tool, if wielded by the untrained or inexperienced, it can lead to bad results.
Two of the ten points on the list address your concern with fonts.
3. Use Crisp antialiasing on your font layers.
4. Use web safe fonts on any parts of the site with live text.
