Dear Rob,
Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs, I have fixed the issue of
distorted fonts/text in all NSTextFields which are not selectable and
not editable(text for user info / display pupose only)and labels by
changing the default background color of all NSTextFields to the same
color(Mercury) of the page background with 100% opacity.
Now, one of the NSTextField which is provided in my application for
user to edit and select with White background is present. The above fix
is not working , In this NSTextField having background color "White /
Snow" with Opacity 100%.
So please let me know some inputs So that I can make the font edges
sharp and clear in case of a Editable White background NSTextFields.
Regards
pappan

One more point is that I am using Xcode 3.2 in Snow Leopard (Version
10.6.2) and in System Preference -> Appearence ->
"Use LCD font smoothing when available" option is disabled , again
font and text are displayed perfectly ie
with out any distortion. If I enable this option which is enabled by
default this problem occurs. But this problem
happens only with the application I have developed.
I suspect you are using a layer-backed view. NSTextFields with no
background color will display
without sub-pixel anti-aliasing on layer-backed views. If you want the
text to have sub-pixel anti-aliasing, give the text field a background
color.
