Hmm, try +A0.2 or even +A0.1 if you don't think you're getting good
anti-aliasing. You may also have the problem that some features are so thin
that you're missing parts of them, and this can only really be solved by
rendering at a higher resolution and scaling down, or by using +A0 which is
undesirable. Hmm, focal blur with a tiny aperature might also work, since it
performs a more random type of anti-aliasing...

I don't notice any photon effects offhand, but it's too hard to tell without
seeing a non-photon render. Try it without photons and see if it looks good.
There's no point using a feature if you don't need the effect that it
provides.
