I notice that BlitzMax has a "Setblend" command which can be used to create nicely antialiased fonts. Is there a way of achieving a similar thing using fonts in Blitz3D? Alternatively, since I tend to use bitmap fonts - these have jagged edges. Is there a simple way of antialiasing each character as I drawimage it to the screen? Thanks.

Not using DrawImage, no. It's a 2D command and 2D commands don't support alpha blending.
