I looked at this issue a bit and it appears that the problem is the
FC_ANTIALIAS parameter; bitmap fonts end up with FC_ANTIALIAS=FcFalse in
their pattern, but XftFontMatch/XftDefaultSubstitute add
FC_ANTIALIAS=FcTrue by default.
(The appended code snippet illustrates the lack of the match
if you have the LucidaTypewriter PCF fonts from XFree86 in a directory
in your fonts.conf)
I believe the correct solution is to simply remove the code in
fontconfig that adds FC_ANTIALIAS=FcFalse for non-scaleable fonts.
It seems to me that FC_ANTIALIAS should indicate the _desired_
antialiasing, not whether the font can actually be effectively
antialiased.
