Did you consider just using a scaled width factor?! E.g., using a factor
of four would give you roughly 300dpi and scaling this down is very
cheap (it would also stay in SmallInteger range for all of the
interesting cases). I thought about using this generally if it ever came
to using anti-aliased fonts.
