i've been using a version that makes an attempt to generate as few subfonts as 
possible.
the last time i goggled ttf2subf the website located was down.

i've been working with code2000, which looks hideous in mono mode, but is 
pretty readable
subpixel or antialias mode, but ttf2subf is too agressive in its antialiasing 
and does not snap
near-grid vertical or horizontal lines to the grid.

i cleaned up the code a bit and think that in subpixel mode, it generates 
non-grey
pixels. that is pixels like

        char a,b,c;

        (a<<24) | (b<<16) | (c<<8) | 0xff       where a, b, c are not all equal.

but i have not yet come up with a good solution to either issue.
