From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   jaggies
  
      /jag'eez/ (Or "staircase") The "staircase" effect
      observable when an edge (especially a linear edge of very
      shallow or steep slope) is rendered on a {bitmap display} (as
      opposed to a {vector display}).   The effect is even more
      pronounced when a bitmap image or text in a bitmap font is
      enlarged.   {Outline fonts} and {anti-aliasing} are two
      techniques used to solve this problem with text.
