Hmm, thanks for the link.  If I understand correctly, that only seems
to be important for the newer "cleartype" fonts.  I'm just using plain
Times New Roman.

Updated information: if I load up gedit (the gnome text editor) and
tell it to use Times New Roman 12, it *is* anti-aliased (depending on
my settings in gnome-control-center).  However, the exact same font
isn't anti-aliased in wine.

Does wine use fontconfig to pick up this stuff?
