Anti-Aliased fonts in UI for NX 8.5.1 on Mac?

I've been using the Mac version of NX 8.5.1 successfully now for a couple months now that all major graphics bugs seem to have been addressed and I find it reasonably tolerable. With the exception of the Space Navigator buttons being un-configurable, everything else seems to work pretty well.

But the UI is stuck inside of X11 using the Motif window manager and I was wondering (hoping) there might be a way to improve the fonts throughout the UI. The fonts used in the Assembly/Part navigators and Menus are significantly better than those used in the Open/Save dialogs which appears to be a bolded Courier or similar. All font rendering inside NX is bitmap only, and I suspect I may be stuck with that, but could I at least configure which fonts are used? And can I change the Font size anywhere?

Forgive the elementary questions, but I've combed through the docs and Customer Defaults without any luck yet.
