I'm using these function calls:

glEnable(GL_BLEND)
glEnable(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH)
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA_SATURATE, GL_ONE)

It doesn't work and won't render.

glEnable(GL_BLEND)
glEnable(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH)
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA)

It doesn't anti-alias.

Try glHint(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_NICEST)
