I have to say that I'm quite impressed with those screen shots.  Your 8-point 
example shows a lot of information packed attractively into an 11x11 pixel 
square.

I can see that there is a lot of anti-aliasing going on, but since I don't read 
Chinese, I don't know how the artifacts actually affect perception.  Can you 
judge for us whether the 8-point xterms are comfortably readable?  Are they 
MORE readable with anti-aliasing disabled?
