>From my knowledge, I believe that the font anti-aliasing you've seen is
from either someone using Microsoft Plus or Win95Gray, which enables
this feature (I've heard rumors that this is actually a feature that is
built-in that requires the M$ utility to enable -- anybody know if this
is true?). Either way, it makes the on-screen fonts look terrific, it
would be nice to be able to incorporate this into FreeBSD/XFree86
somehow (goodness knows Enlightenment is pretty enough already), at
least it would help make those Java dialogs look a little less "blah".
