Monaco does not render with anti-aliasing at size 10, though it is AA'd at 8 and at 11 and up. I'm not sure why this is; I poked around a bit on Google to no avail. In Terminal.app there is an option to use AA that seems to override that issue (i.e. it renders 10pt Monaco with AA). Anyhow, I just switched to Bitstream. But having the non-AA as default is probably a bad idea since it looks terrible : ).

That's controlled by a user preference. In System Prefernences,
check the bottom of the "Appearance" panel, you'll see an option
called "Turn off text smoothing for font sizes XXX and smaller".

Hi Hans,It does not respect that preference, sorry, I should have mentioned that. My setting is for sizes 6 and below (and Monaco is AA @ size 9).
Also, to be clear, it is not a Pd problem, as Monaco is also non-AA'd in TextEdit at size 10.
