      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Contradictio in terminis ?  I haven't seen much usable examples of
anti-aliased fonts yet.  And I certainly wouldn't impose that on an Amiga with
a 2024 greyscale monitor.  For anti-aliasing you need at least 100 dpi if you
don't want to see any individual pixels and maybe 16 greylevels.  Any idea how
your blitter will think about that ?
