Ok i did a quick once over of glBlendFunc manpage and it looks like
switching line antialiasing from:
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
to
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA_SATURATE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
eliminates the problem without extra passes. I still gotta look into
that halo thingy for the outer edges though. Or maybe I'm still
missing something in my understanding of the blend fns. It seems
like there oughta be some way to blend that insures the destination
alpha value never decreases. Then the polys drawn first would
bump the alpha values to 1.0 everywhere but at the extreme outer
antialiased edges.
