Note that ther is a difference between gray-scale fonts and
anti-aliased fonts.  The latter assumes some kind of linear filtering
to avoid aliasing in the frequency domain, and the former assumes no
such thing, and may use nonlinear filters which do result in aliasing,
but may produce better quality results.
