Actually, Terminal does use the Monaco that's in the font folder. I
found this out the hard way when I cleaned out my font folders, and
accidentally took Monaco out. Terminal defaulted to "null, 0 pt" and
was rendered useless. Took me ages to figure that one out...

I don't know for sure, but I would suspect that Terminal has a built
in version of Monaco that it uses and doesn't go through the normal
font handling processes. This is so you can still use it to fix
problems you might have where the font folder can't be seen etc.
Kinda like what's built in to DOS.

As such it is likely to be included only as a bitmap font, hence
there is no possibility of anti-aliasing.
