>From MSDN:
-------------
Windows NT 4.0 and later: Font is antialiased, or smoothed, if the font
supports it and the size of the font is not too small or too large.
Windows 95 with Plus!, Windows 98/Me: The display must greater than 8-bit
color, it must be a single plane device, it cannot be a palette display, and
it cannot be in a multiple display monitor setup. In addition, you must
select a TrueType font into a screen DC prior to using it in a DIBSection,
otherwise antialiasing does not happen.

Also check this out, he talks a bit about situations where Windows
will/won't honor the flag:

Hope this helps.
