Interesting!  I had only seen[0] the fuzzier version of an
anti-aliased font (as seen in "*without_bytecode*" images),
believing it to be the "feature" of anti aliasing.  That, the
fuzziness, was highly distracting, so i have been using plain olde
UN-anti-aliased(?) fonts.

Now i know better.  Thanks everybody.


[0] I saw fuzziness in fvwm 2.5.x, xterm, and Mozilla, all running w/
help of XFree86 4.2.0.  I did not note the whether the version of
freetype.
