Text rendering in Tkinter applications like IDLE is a service of the underlying Tcl/Tk implementation.  Essentially, all that IDLE does is to pass text in a requested font face and font size through Tkinter to Tcl/Tk which may then use whatever approach it wants to render the text.  IDLE does allow you to select a font face and text size in the IDLE Preferences Font/Tabs tab.  You may want to experiment there to find a satisfactory combination of settings for your use.  If you can't and there is something specific that needs to change, it will almost certainly have to be done by the Tcl/Tk project.  Feel free to reopen this issue if you can identify specific deficiencies in IDLE or Tkinter.
