For the record, the way to suppress the anti-aliasing required, in
"Image to String:"
* setting Image Width property to non-zero value (I used 2)
* setting Image Height property to non-zero value (I used .02)
* connecting the Display Width property to Billboard's Width property
* I also have the Font Size property set to 0.1

There's two things it could be.
First, make sure that you are displaying the string at the real size
by setting the font and passing the width and height to the
billboard or sprite. If QC does the scaling, it will use bilinear
(although it is possible to go through CI to inhibit that behavior)
If the smoothing is on a pixel scale, it may be because the
underlying system has a hard time rendering over transparent
textures. You should file a bug in that case. Also, make sure that
the text is rendered on pixel boundaries as it will look blurry if
not.

Is there a way to suppress automatic anti-aliasing of fonts when
rendered in Quartz Composer?
Specifically, I am using the String-to-Image and Billboard patches
to render strings. In the String-to-Image patch I am setting the
font to one that intentionally contains "rough edges," viewable as
such inside Font Book, for example. However, when rendered by QC,
the rendered string has been automatically anti-aliased, which is
not what I want.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
