I've just tried it and the results are really wonderful. Bert said, OLPC
does not have sub-pixels, but I've tried it also on an OLPC and it looks
much better than the original image. Anyway, I have a some doubts:
- I don't have a CRT monitor, do they look fine at it?
- Any trick to generate new size/bold/italic fonts? automatically generated
bold fonts look really ugly...
- If there is no hidden problem behind this approach, why hasn't it already
been implemented in the official images?

Regards.
