GNU Emacs 23.1 Provides Anti-Aliasing

,----[ Quote ]
| Emacs, the extensible editor of the GNU project, is available in version
| 23.1. The release adds countless modernizations to the traditional program,
| such as font anti-alising and support for D-Bus and zeroconf.
|
| Up to now the programmable editor, which could read mail and news and provide
| a development environment for many computer languages, didn't recognize
| smoothed fonts. Many users integrated snapshots of the newly released version
| alone for that reason. The newest release provides new ways to adopt
| anti-aliasing font rasterization.

Emacs capable of handling Unicode

,----[ Quote ]
| After years of work, the Emacs developers have released Emacs 23.1, the first
| version of the free editor that internally uses the UTF-8 Unicode format. The
| editor manages and displays fonts using Fontconfig and Xft, allowing users to
| apply anti-aliasing to their fonts.
