[ft] antialias question

[julius Junghans]

hi,

found this online:

<match target="font">
   <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
   <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"><bool>true</bool></edit>
   <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"><bool>false</bool></edit>
</match>


wondered what it means:
antialias = antialias in generell ?
hinting = bytecode interpreter ?
autohing = autohinter ?

if antialias means antialias in generell what happens if i turn it on 
here but off in the kde settings?

greets
Julius
