'gvim', as I recall, uses the GTK text widgets. These, under the hood,
use xft for anti-aliased text rendering these days, for both TTF and
Type1 fonts.
Emacs, since it uses a display engine of its own, does not support the
same font location technology, and does not support anti-aliased text.
All it needs is for someone to write the code to implement that, though.
