[ale] How can I mimic Apple's terrific screen graphics and text resolution ?

[Randy Carpenter]

No answers to your mimic questions, just info...Apple uses text anti- 
aliasing via it's Quartz 2D engine.  Google "mac os x quartz text anti- 
aliasing" and you'll get lots of hits.   Here is the Wikipedia page:
