After thinking a bit more I suppose you're refering to antialiasing.
On your planet "AA" may be a common acronym for "antialiasing", but
that's the 1st time I see it used that way.
Please get a look at
http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?String=exact&Acronym=AA
155 registered meanings.
Eh eh, they mention "Acronym Abuse" - I should have thought of this
myself...

Should you have written "antialiasing" directly it would have spared
some more of my time. Thanks for your cooperation.

And you never thought of mentionning the exact problem you were
thinking of at first ?

OK I missed one. And so I'll have to go into this
automatically-generated file, which weights 11KB on my system, and
comment random things out of it ?
What a useful suggestion...
Should I assume that because "bitstream vera" is the 1st one in what
looks like the definition of a "monospace" "family" it is the one
used, and uses antialiasing ? There is no occuence of "antialiasing"
or "aa" in this file anyway. If this feature is the source of the
problem, how am I supposed to turn it off ?
You should have understood by now that I don't know the internals of
nowadays font-management...

Please stop this kind of things ! YOU closed this bug with an
insufficent reason. And THAT is unacceptable.
