I think that another answer for Prasad is:
* There's no built-in support for AA fonts on Palm devices.
* It doesn't appear that anyone knows of a package that allows you
to add such support to your application.
* Adding such support on your own may be more work than it's worth.
You may not even like how they look. I don't really like it when I
see them in web clippings. Graphics rules are different on LCDs than
on CRTs, and what works on the latter may not work or work well on
the former.
