This anti-alasing method is not similar to gnome-appearance-properties. And I must admit that this method is a little bit uglier. But you can check that is is anti-alised or not by zoom in the text inside the browser. If it doesn't have any alias, so that the smoothing font engine is doing its job.
About the above method, you have to restart to get your system to take effect after editing the file.
