A recent Tk release (post-Tcl 8.5) should render antialiased text unless you compile it with "--disable-xft" or your font is raster. Sorry, I was thinking about antialiased drawings (canvas). Text was antialiased if I remember correctly. IIRC Tk only has linear gradients, no fancy gradients that is needed to make your GUI look good.
