#13741: Antialiasing forced for various fonts on Windows XP

From version 2.7.0 onwards Pidgin, on at least Windows XP, has forced
antialiasing for various, yet not all, conversation fonts, defying the
behavior of its preceding versions.
Attached (if this checkbox doesn't fail me) are two screenshots of the
Sans font for comparison. The first, crisp and jagged, from 2.6.6; and the
second, anti-aliased and blurry, from 2.7.11.
I have to assume this might be a known result of the GTK+ update to 2.16.6
in Pidgin 2.7.0. If it is, a future toggle for font antialiasing/smoothing
and hinting would be very welcome.
