Sorry for my poor reporting - it was trunk vs. 24.2

You're correct - I should have said LCD smoothing and not anti-aliasing. I read the description of 11484 and now understand why smoothing was turned off. However, now Emacs is quite unpleasant to the eyes and quite unusable on a Macbook IMHO. Perhaps the cure is worse than the disease?
