Hi Artemiy-

Couldn't tell from the screenshot, but it appears that the text might be small... if so, there is a preference to turn off text smoothing for fonts of a certain size or smaller (System Preferences > Appearance - down at the bottom of the pane).

Another possibility: are you using layer backed views for core animation?  It has recently been discussed that layer-backed text fields cannot antialias text unless the background is being drawn, which is not the default.

That said, I didn't think your example looked too bad... if it is a small font size, I don't think the text looks bad at all.  Hard to say without knowing the size context.

John
