The following information is about Jaggies.
Jaggies Defined
Stair-like lines that appear where there should be smooth straight lines or curves. Jaggies can occur for a variety of reasons, the most common being that the output device (display monitor or printer) does not have enough resolution to portray a smooth line. In addition, jaggies often occur when a bit-mapped image is converted to a different resolution. This is one of the advantages vector graphics has over bit-mapped graphics -- the output looks the same regardless of the resolution of the output device.The effect of jaggies can be reduced somewhat by a graphics technique known as antialiasing. Antialiasing smoothes out jagged lines by surrounding the jaggies with shaded pixels. In addition, some printers can reduce jaggies with a technique known as smoothing.The smaller the pixels and the greater their number, the less apparent the "jaggies". Also known as pixelization.

- Jaggies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Jaggies are stairlike lines that appear where there should be smooth straight lines or curves." I use the term jaggies to refer to imperfect stairlike lines, however... maybe I should be using the term compression artifact though... hmm... oops... jaggies sounds so right though... ugh

- Susan Kare : MyFonts: "Chicago was my attempt to make a system/bold font with no jaggies. (Apple?s recent adjustment of the ?W? and ?v? in Chicago is painful!)" ; Chicago is one of my favorite fonts, btw.
