I think you can control it from Tcl/Tk, i.e. turning it on and off.
That is much preferrable to not even having the option, especially
when you consider the vast majority of computer users are used to
seeing anti-aliased fonts. I am not saying anyone should have to use
them...
Properly anti-aliased lines are much clearer IMHO.
