Last month a patch was sent into the emacs devel mailing list. It enables antialiasing on X windows for emacs, something I've wanted for a very long time. There are plenty of display bugs (perhaps related to proportional fonts), and display is slower than normal. If you want to build this font, I had to hand-patch it in, and also uncomment the BLOCK_INPUT and UNBLOCK_INPUT lines (as suggested in a followup message).
Screenshots are here (not by me).
