I had the same problem just a fw days ago: a rendering with very small
text objects.  The anti-aliasing was not really working because
parts of the letters were falling between adjacent pixels, so that
the anti-aliasing was not triggered.  I ended up rendering the image
at double size, with anti-aliasing ... and sizing it down in a paint
package.  That fixed it.
