[vtkusers] vtkTextProperty::AntiAliasingOn in 5.0+

[David Marshburn]

hi vtk'ers,

i'd like to repeat my question from friday about the antialiasing property 
of text.

from the cvs logs for vtkTextProperty.h:
Revision 1.8 (Sun Aug 8 16:24:40 2004 UTC by barre )
"enh: text global antialiasing is gone, it was used to facilitate the old 
transition to Freetype, 2 years ago. Orientation is new. FaceFileName is 
gone for the moment, always has been unsupported, makes cache trickier, 
will add later on popular request."

i don't see anything in the logs about removing all antialiasing 
functions, although the per-object antialiasing functions were removed 
along with the global antialiasing functions.

is antialiasing now an immutable property of the font used?  what is the 
correct interpretation of this change?

thanks,
