Text doesn't anti-alias?When I place text on an icon I can't seem to get it to anti-alias. I've tried different fonts but I always get 'jaggies' whether I have the No-smoothing or Smoothing buttons selected. Am I doing it wrong or doesn't text anti-alias?

"But it usually looks better without aa."
That's true in many cases, but for example I had a 16x16 icon and I wanted to place a tick (from Wingdings) onto a blue circle. As a non-smoothed tick it looks like a spider's leg, and I'm sure that if it was smoothed it would look great. I'll try doing a huge tick and then shrink it.

It currently uses Windows functions for font rendering. Anti-aliasing only has effect with larger font size. A workaround would be to draw larger text in a separate image and copy it to the icon and resize it. But it usually looks better without aa.

I see, that is true. The next version will have also AA text.
