Hmm.. i'm not sure this would be so helpful for kanji characters since
often two parallel one-pixel width lines will be one pixel apart. Any
grayness in between will just make things look really smudged.

On the other hand, with embedded-bitmaps, double-striking to emulate bold is
pretty easy to do, and might be useful. the xtt backend in 4.2.0 does this.
