Xrender also has the ability to draw antialiased triangles and
trapezoids[1], and can filter scaled copies[2].
Beyond Xrender, I can't think of anything off the top of my head that
antialiases in 2D.

[1] Modern 'xclock' can draw itself antialiased this way.
[2] By drawing everything larger and doing a filtered scaled copy to
your output, you effectively get antialiasing on everything, at the cost
of storage and performance.
