Something what really upsets me ...

I had a look at the fonts on Windows compared to BeOS and what really 
hurts is the antialiasing on BeOS. Even Tracker and the Menus are using 
it and it really hurts.

Every shitty menu is doing that with a 10pt or 12pt fonts. Windows 
software 
(WinExplorer, Word2000, Mozilla ... every app on WinNT and Win98 isn´t 
using antialiasing .. so ...
... By the way I had a deeper look in Photoshop compared to Magnify .. 
My question is, what should be our intension here  ...

From what I think is that beginning from 50pt upwards antialising seems 
very cool !!!
So I wonder if freetype is using that ... (You see I didnt have a look 
inside there) ...
I even haven´t a look to Linux ... because I´m getting back to openBeOS 
after 2 years abstinence and 
killed 2 of my linux desktops therefor :-)

I REALLY THINK WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THIS, BECAUSE what I type into my 
bemail now isn´t that good readable ...

What do you think,
