hey, resizing bitmap fonts is weird idea... it looks terrible :(
let's generate fonts runtime from .ttf, at given size and codepage and other
stuff. the font generator code runs <1s on medium systems for ascii set.
for big unicode sets (korean etc) it may took too long :(

but we could add font cacheing. for example, user could set a max disk space
to keep most common font sets...

the only drawbacks are:
- runtime generation tooks some time (<1s on most systems and small font
sizes, but if Michael optimize it it will even build korean 50ppt font at
0.1s :)))
- users need to have freetype library
- users need .ttf fonts (they are not fully legal to distribute, at least
the windows ones, but we could find some free fonts)
