Oddly, when I switched from bitmap to freetype, I found that small movies
looked worse, because the pixel size of the font was too small to be
meaningful, while with the bitmap fonts one always had a minimum size.

This could propbably be improved, as well as the scaling in general. It
doesn't seem to do anything sane regarding DPI.
