Similar to how I added it to rayshade (for examples, see the
instruction sheets at the bottom of:

Easy: have the internal bitmap be twice as wide and high, and
shrink it down to display on the screen, blending the pixels
together. I've held off on doing this because it requires the
Type 2 lines to be wider than one pixel, or they get blurred out.
Of course, you need wider Type 2 line anyways if you want to
generate 8.5" x 11" instruction sheets at 600 dpi, and if you are
going to do that, you'd like to save the images in a more compressed
png format, and you might as well have an alpha channel for a
transparent background so you can overlay it on pretty scenery.
