Jason should have the definitive opinion, but AFAIK the Windows port includes full support for BDF fonts. You can clearly see it in the sources. > This may also explain why using ClearType and/or italics can cause > fragments of characters to be left behind if they are being drawn > using a Windows function, then erased by an internal function with a > slightly different idea of the rendered glyph's size/position. You will see in etc/PROBLEMS that the reason is different: Windows lies about the metrics of some fonts when ClearType is in effect.
