Confusingly, this is not a variable that controls anti-aliasing, but
it changes a font rendering engine so it uses lighter anti-aliasing.
This facility seems to be deprecated as of Mac OS X 10.5, so I'd
suggest removing this variable together with the corresponding NS
variable, ns-use-qd-smoothing.

Still this applies to another NS variable, ns-antialias-text.
