wxruby users - May 2004 - Antialiasing?

Does wxRuby support font antialiasing on Linux or does it depend on the
underlying toolkit?  If not, are there plans to include it?

If I use wxGTK, is antialiasing automatically enabled?  Do I have to do
something to make my fonts antialiased?

wxRuby relies on wxWindows, which in turn relies on GTK. Unfortunately, 
it currently uses only GTK 1.2, which I don''t think supports 
anti-aliasing. So I suspect wxRuby won''t do anti-aliasing yet.

Most likely, the next release of wxWindows (which will be wxWidgets at 
that point) will target GTK 2. After that is out, we can update wxRuby 
to work with it, and hopefully you would get anti-aliasing.

Of course, if I''m wrong, and GTK 1.2 already supports aa, then we would
have to do more research to answer the question.
