I guess the original problem (comment 0) Vadim has is different. Vadim would
like to have Tahoma with size 8.0 rendered with antialiasing and Tahoma of size
less then 8.0 rendered without antialiasing.

Vadim, the problem is with the smaller sizes, correct?

When a font has good built-in instructions (very few fonts), they are good to
render with help of BCI (byte code interpreter). For small sizes, it can give
nice sharp result when rendered without antialiasing.

Question is, where the problem lies. BYTECODE_BW_MAX_PIXEL sysconfig variable
was used for that purpose, but I need to look into it more.
