(X)Emacs and AA?

Does anyone know if its possible to get antialiased text with GNU Emacs/XEmacs? I thought I'd give Emacs a shot, but I'm sort of used to smooth fonts from GVim ..

the development version of GNU emacs (app-editor/emacs-cvs) uses gtk2 so i guess it supports AA fonts

Thanks, I will have a look.

It seems to be using gtk2 for menus alright, but I can't see that it has any effect on the text rendering (apart from menus)

I don't have a clue when it comes to customizing Emacs, but I've browsed through the customization options and I couldn't see anything to do with font AA.

I don't think it's supported in the X interface, yet.

However, if you use the console version of emacs in an AA'd xterm, you get AA fonts. :-)
