I believe you can't get anti-aliased fonts with vncserver because it doesn't support OpenGL. You'll probably get an error message similar to this one:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":3.0"
when you try to start an application which normally has anti-aliased fonts. AFAIK the only vnc server implementation which has the GLX extension is xf4vnc (http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net). I have no personal experince with it but I'll appreciate yours if you're going to give it a try.
Why do I get anti-aliased fonts with vncserver 3.3.7-1 in all of KDE, Mozilla FireBird 0.7, and Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 and not OpenOffice?
Could one of these libraries be providing the anti-aliasing instead of depending on GLX/Render in the X server?
