>> is there are particular reason >> your application requires anti-aliased fonts? I'm also inclined to believe that anti-aliasing fonts is not a particularly good idea unless your pixel size is significantly smaller than the line-width used to draw the font. ie, if you're left with no pixels illuminated at 'full brightness', you've paid too much contract penalty to eliminate "jaggies"...
