How do you turn off anti-aliasing in fonts (smoothing) for a textview?
(As, for example, is done in Project Builder and BBEdit).
Text Smoothing is designed to be controlled by a threshhold value
rather than and on/off switch.
Global preference for this value is in the General panel of System
Preferences. You can, of
course, also implement an application specific default as well.
Here is a quote from an article:
here are four minimum size thresholds for Core Graphics font rendering,
expressed as NSUserDefaults/CFPreferences. They can be set for the
system (NSGlobalDomain) or per-application: AppleAntiAliasingThreshold,
AppleSmoothFontsSizeThreshold, AppleSmoothFixedFontsSizeThreshold and
AppleSmoothAdvanceSizeThreshold. Some applications, such OmniWeb,
provide direct control themselves. The on-off switch is
CGFontDisableAntialiasing (in the CoreGraphics domain, set to YES or
NO).
The full article is here:

It has more of a carbon focus than cocoa, but discusses the topic from
both sides
pretty lucidly.
