You don't need to call "FT_Set_Renderer", this is done automatically
whenever you need anti-aliased rendering..

I don't know enough about these projects to answer this question. One
important thing is that Nautilus seems to use un-hinted anti-aliasing
exclusively..

You shouldn't use "FT_Set_Renderer" unless you provide your own
rendering module for FreeType. I don't think there is much use to it
for now..
