Turn off font hinting?

Hello all,
I wrote some code to draw an NSString rotated by an arbitrary angle, which can be manipulated interactively. The results are surprisingly bad (compared to how good font rendering is in general on the Mac). Most notably, the character positions "jump around" in whole pixel increments while I'm rotating the text. Usually, this is caused by hinting which tries to place vertical and horizontal lines at integer pixels. Does anyone know of a way to switch this off (temporarily) for a given context?
Thanks in advance,
Sander_______________________________________________
