Thanks for the heads-up, but as far as I'm aware the only control I
have over text rendering in OS X is the "turn off font smoothing for
font sizes N and smaller" setting in the Appearance panel in System
Preferences, and that works on a system-wide level regardless of which
font is affected and whether we're talking proportional or fixed
fonts.

Now, cranking that setting up makes lots of formerly nice-looking text
go all crumbly.

I'm really happy with how OS X renders text, it's just in Emacs that I
would prefer the crisper display. (My terminal of choice, GLterm,
seems to override that setting as well.)
