The reason you can't find the AA font patch is because it isn't on the tracker. It's used in mine and kugel's custom builds (for the e200 series) since j0tt gave us permission, but there seems to be a possible issue with whether or not it's completely GPL'd (from what I understand from the logs) - http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20080331#02:09:31
Mainly:
02:17:59 saratoga assuming he was aware you were using GPL code, and he gave you permission, you're probably ok
02:18:07 kugel http://sse2.net/rb/
02:18:07 saratoga but we certainly can't do that for SVN
02:18:22 saratoga we need to be black and white
I talked to j0tt a while back, and while I seem to remember him giving me permission to add it to the tracker, I don't have a copy of that log. In addition, if for some reason it wasn't completely GPL'd, I don't want to cause any problems by putting it on the tracker.
kugel.:
I'd assume it is GPL'd, since the font converter he made for it (you can find it on that page too) is certainly GPL (i.e. it stands in the header).
€dit: I see, the site isn't available anymore. I have copies of the files though, and chrisjs too.
Llorean:
If it's not GPLed, or 100% GPL compatible, it's illegal (and violating his copyright and our license) for you to be using it in your builds. Period.
scorche:
As a note, I was able to speak with jott who confirmed that his anti-aliasing code is placed under the GPL v2 or later license.
NicolasP:
Could someone who has the patch maybe add it to the tracker?
