Antialiasing can be specified on a per-font level with the Windows font
backends.  This is documented in the Emacs manual.

Standard keyboard keys can be remapped outside of Emacs. Commonly this
is done to swap left-control and caps-lock, for example, see

See above, and also w32-recognize-altgr

No idea which key you mean here. If you mean the Fn key present on some
laptop keyboards, I beleive this is handled by the keyboard hardware or
low level drivers, and not exposed by the OS.
