Why can't you just turn it off then.

OTOH I can't look at Motif and Xaw programs and one of the main reasons 
is the lack of anti-aliased text. The lack of anti-aliased graphics is 
another (yeah, I really dislike this part of gschem and PCB).

I guess it's a matter of taste and should be configurable (just like it 
is today) but IMHO in either case the main rendering method should be 
Render with it's client-side fonts.
