I don't like Anti Aliasing especially it makes difficult to identify
complex Kanji. One of the Apple engineers wanted to file a bug on this
and asked me to make a report. As the first time in a long while, I
turned Anti Aliasing on.
Surprisingly, Tiger has improved on it drastically. Some of the apps I
help L10N does look much nicer. But PM is rather terrible. Everything
is harder to read.
- Text became dim
- Unable to identify bold and normal which is a big problem
- The infamous orange dots dancing (first time I saw it)
The message body is bulky Courier font, and for the life of me I can't
find the way to change it as well as its display size. Forgive me if
this has been discussed before. I never suffered from it until I turned
Anti Aliasing on.
For the list font, I am using the default system font, Lucida Grande. I
can't tell which folder is bold. Am I the only one having this problem?

1. Go to "Preferences/Display"
2. Choose a font and size for each script (I have Helvetica 16 for Roman).

D'oh! How come I didn't see I had to chose each script! Thank you so
much, Jeremy.
Does anyone have any comment about bold/normal distinction problem with
anti aliasing turned on?

I don't have a problem with this: I'm using Verdana 14 pt for lists, and
the bold/normal distinction is very clear.

Thanks! Appreciate it very much!
This year, I hesitated a little because of the copyright issue, but it
seems I am within the 'fair use'. This one was the first one I didn't
take from Hymnal. Next year, I will go back to public domain material :-)

Oh, I see. So this is really depending of what font you use. I think
my JP locale is making things complicated, but I should play around. Thanks!
P.S. I still like anti aliasing disabled. Do you think I am just not
used to how this look maybe? I will find out in a week or so :-)

I think antialiased text looks great. It's much more readable because
you see letter shapes rather than pixels. If I look at non-antialiased
text it looks ragged and spidery by comparison. Some of the early
implementations of antialiasing could make text look blurry, but I
haven't found this to be a problem recently.
Going back to non-antialiased text would be like stepping back into the
stone age (System 7 or an old version of Windows).
