I doubt it'd be a good idea. AA fonts, unless done _very_ well, look like cr*p
on LCD screens anyway, and those are modern colour LCDs, not the Newt's
ageing screens.
In any case the fonts we have now are crisp and clean and, due to the Newt's
high DPI, hardly blocky at all. They rock.
Instead, do a GhostScript for the Newton, will ya? :)
