gdk_draw_text() is not antialiased?  I'm taking my comment back.

But seriously, don't you think layouts are too complicated and overkill
for some problems to make them mandatory?  Maybe there should be a
light-weight gdk_draw_<something-else>() which would be antialiased
and use Pango fonts, but more like gdk_draw_text() in respect of
position parameters?
