Yeah, and you should additionally use well-hinted Windows fonts that contain support for monochrome rendering. In most cases you are on the safe side if you choose fonts that already existed in the XP era. Of course, if you need support for more 'exotic' languages this route will probably be unsuccessful, alas. Check the 'gasp' table in the fonts, for example with `ttx -t -gasp`. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/gasp https://pypi.org/project/fonttools/ For example, Windows's `pala.ttf` font comes with monochrome hinting support in the range 9 to 17 ppem, even today, AFAICS.
