!!! Application support
Newer [X11] applications can use the antialiasing support that is built into the Xft/FreeType libraries.
!! [GTK2] and Qt 3
-Both of these toolkits support antialiasing by default.

!! [GTK] 1.2
You need [libgdkxft|http://gdkxft.sourceforge.net/], a library that modifies the font-drawing parts of the libraries to include anti-alias support. Unfortunately the library is buggy and the project is dead, so you are stuck with some widgets occasionally exhibiting faulty text rendering. To use this library, install it (__apt-get install libgdkxft0__) and export __LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgdkxft.so__. All [GTK] 1.2 applications started from that shell should be using AA. Be sure to [RTFM] (__/usr/share/doc/libgdkxft0/README.Debian__).

!! Mozilla
This is, at the core, a [GTK] application. Note that it can be compiled against either 1.2 or 2.x. In the former case, the HTML rendering engine will still be able to use antialiased fonts natively, but the widgets will remain unantialiased unless you go through the libgdkxft contortions described above. See MozillaNotes for the settings you need to add to your preferences to enable antialiasing.
