I didn't see a font aliasing option:

appearance preferences ->fonts has these settings:

application font: sans
document font: sans
desktop font: sans
window title font: sans bold
fixed width font: monospace


Rendering:
Monochrome
Best shapes (selected)
Best contrast
Subpixel smoothing

Smoothing:
None (I tried this and it didn't help)
Grayscale (selected)
Subpixel

Hinting:
None
Slight
Medium (selected)
Full

Subpixel order:
RGB (selected)
BGR
VRGB
VBGR


Cheers...
