You can't do that with MapInfo. This surprises me too. You'd think that 
after so many years MapInfo would have added a feature such as this that 
so dramatically improves the appearances of a map. 

I wrote a simple MapInfo to SVG translator that shows that when you
display a map via SVG, the anti-aliasing really improves a map's graphic
quality. If you want to try SVG, you can download the translator from
http://www.gisnet.com/notebook/SVG_mapping.htm.
