The engine uses CoreText, but has to funnel its results through Skia (which we use to ensure the graphical capabilities you have are equivalent on all platforms). At the moment this means we only get grayscale antialiasing rather than the LCD-optimized 'color antialiasing' I believe.
There is some work to do here, though, as supporting rendering of Emoji requires rendering things in color (http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17395).
The first thing we need to do is to update Skia and see if it can now better support platform-specific text rendering than it used to. Failing that, we'll have to take a look at how we render the text to see if we can leverage both rendering Emoji and color antialiasing.
We are aware this work needs to be done, however it is lower priority than many other things at the moment.
