Very interesting.  I don't seem to have to.  The fonts look
anti-aliased to me (xmag shows some "grey" pixels).

I then added the fontbackend and ran xrdb.  xmag shows no change

I use gentoo and have the xft use flag set, which brings in quite a
bit and presumably turns on XFT.

Another possibility is that I use bitstream vera fonts not
Inconsolata.
