Gern, you can do this to trace from the original. I've done this to trace logos and fonts. If you create enough segments any arc will look smooth especially if the nodes are changed to arcs instead of straight lines. If you trace the layer ry1220 provided you can change the color or piping width easily.
Anti-Aliasing... what exactly does that do? I've seen the toggle for it on many tools, but never played around with it.
