RGB -> nice NTSC QUESTION...

I've got a question about putting a sunraster file out to video. Basically
I guess the question is how do you make a pallet in RGB that will produce
an effective "rainbow" NTSC, that is look good on a TV?  I can merrily
produce RGB pallets on my Sun, but nice rainbows don't look like nice
rainbows on a TV.  The same applies to MAC pictures.

Does anyone out there have an "optimal" RGB pallet that defines a nice
64 (for example) RGB pallet that looks decent (on TV) and has a good range of
colors in NTSC?  BTW, I'm aware of the fact that it might just look like
crap in RGB.  That's ok.  The point is to make a nice TV picture!

Antialiased Hersey fonts???

Has anyone out there ever implemented an anti-aliased display routine for
Hershey fonts?  Sounds like a great idea to me and I wonder if anyone has 
ever done it???


Thanks for any answers.  If anyone has any suggestions or experience (good
or bad) in either of these two areas, please drop me a e-note!
