Previous discussions have pointed out that the Carbon text draw routines 
for smoothing text in OS X are very slow and that is why Revolution (and 
other Carbon development tools) don't take advantage of them. I also 
understand that Apple will fix this in the future.

Will existing Carbon applications automatically render in smooth text 
when Apple fixes it or will we require a new version of Rev in which to 
call those routines?

If we will require a new version then I would like to request a new 
feature to optionally support smooth text. There are some applications 
in which the poor performance won't be an issue. I would like the 
ability to "render text well" right now with the potential to also 
"render text fast" in the future. Obviously there would be many 
applications where fast text rendering is a requirement.
