if you have bitmap fonts and select the correct size, cairo and 
xlib+freetype won't antialias them. The same should be for art.

I don't know if there is a setting to specifically don't alias a certain 
font. If it is a scalable font with no bitmap display, it looks ugly 
usually. I myself don't like AA generally, I prefer without for most 
text and interface.

If you use really small fonts perhaps we should have a preference for AA 
below a certain pixel size, like MacOS. I don't know if our backends 
have provision for that.
