You're confusing what is defined in the core protocol with
what is possible using requests outside the core protocol.
Drawing anti-aliased text in response to PolyText or one of
the other text requests defined in the core protocol would 
be a violation of the definitions of those requests in the X 
protocol, which is why it's not done that way, but via an 
extension.
