Hello,

[NB: please CC me on reply]

I'm using Monaco 12pt. font both in Carbon Emacs and Terminal.app with
antialiasing turned off. My question is why this font is being
rendered in different ways in these application?

There is a couple of screenshots:

I suspect maybe there is sort of different font rendering libraries,
engines and such like. I'm not an expert in font rendering mechanisms
though, so please don't overload me with technical details.

And what particularly I'd like to do is to get exactly the same font
in Terminal.app as Emacs has.

And there is a related discussion in macosx lj community:

Thanks in advance.
