For large enough scaling, yes.

Of course, this is a test of one instance each of the 256 glyphs (all
with at least some ink IIRC, but many with very little coverage) in
one serifed text font.

In each case I tested, f < 1 when i < C where i is PointSize * dpi and
C is 1400 for PK files, 20000 for gzip -9 compressed GF files, approx
13850 for bzip2 -9 compressed GF files and 5700 for uncompressed GF files.

(Yes, PK hits superlinear sooner than GF does.)

All of this is for 1-bit depth fonts.
