Are you sure that you are using the Art backend? GSFontAntiAlias is used 
there as well, but should be YES by default, as opposed to the xlib 
backend where we have a default of NO.
The difference in the available fonts suggest that you are still using 
xlib as there the fonts either come from the font_cache or from 
font_config, which gives different results.
The art backend still has a lot of extra features, which may make it a 
worthwhile replacemetn for xlib, so you may give it another try.
