The Macromedia patent actually seems reasonable. It's not a patent on displaying anti-aliased text, it's a patent on a particular way of doing so, with some improvements. They reference other anti-aliasing patents.

Very specific software patents - patents you can work around - aren't as big a problem as silly or overly broad patents.
