-art uses this default to decide whether to use anti-aliasing at some
sizes (9-16 pixels) for screen fonts "by default" (ie. if font format or
information in the nfont plist tells it to otherwise, the default is
ignored). It's on by default. (And unfortunately, handling of it was a
bit broken (anti-aliasing always on) with freetype >=2.1.3 until I fixed
it today.)
