<p>I have downloaded a font that looks less than desirable if it is not anti-aliased.  I can not figure out how to enable anti-aliasing in VS, I have changed the 'Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts' in the system performance options but that does not seem to help.</p>

<p>VS2008 on XP SP3.</p>

<p>What am I missing?</p>
