FWIW, iWork 09 does not do sub-pixel AA in its font popup. Which means
they only have to cache one bitmap and composite it against the
system-provided menu item.

This is useful because the selected menu item color is actually a
gradient, not a solid color. The downside is that the menu items draw
black-on-blue, instead of white-on-blue like elsewhere in the OS.
Since they're not using sub-pixel AA, I wonder if a simple color
inversion would work when drawing the selected menu item.
