It would help interoperability and minimize code if a single
mechanism was defined for these settings. The Windows feature used to
control this is called quality (see LOGFONT:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd145037%28VS.85%29.aspx) and
takes a value from an enumerated set. Scintilla could expose a similar
concept, replacing extraFontFlag and allowing a set of
platform-independent values (default, no-anti-alias, anti-alias,
lcd-specific) which would be passed through to the closest platform
equivalent along with any needed platform-specific values.
