Line anti-aliasing (line width<1) and truetype font outlines

Hi,

we are currently evaluating mapserver (debian gnu/linux package version: 
4.4.1-2).
Is there a direct way to get line anti-aliasing and line widths smaller 
than one pixel?
At the moment we render the map at a higher resolution and afterwards 
scale it down.
(super sampling)

The problem with the super sampling aproach now is that font outlines 
vanish. Is there a way to incrase the outline size? (a workaround 
perhaps would be to use the output of mapserver as input again and 
render the labels in a second pass).

Feel free to point me at the relevant portions of the source code / docs.

Thanks
Jens
