Anti-aliasing doesn't work on gtk 1.x apps. There's a workaround that is
supposed to create AA but I can't remember what it's called.

I'm using Slackware 9.0. It has a file called .gtkrc which controls the
fonts in gtk 1.x apps. Here's what mine looks like:

(note that although it says "do not edit," I had to edit the font info
by hand to get it to work.

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/Sunshine-mine/gtk/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
  font="-microsoft-verdana-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

include "/home/glens/.gtkrc.mine"

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
