Perhaps that was a dumb question. Somehow I was expecting the antialiased 
effect to be applied to the everything uniformly i. e. to the bitmaps also... 
This probably really means toggling bitmaps probably should automatically 
toggle aa in the opposite direction also? 

also i think the other expectation was that in bitmap mode it doesn't fall back 
to outlines if the glyph has no bitmaps. 

Is it difficult to make the bitmap toggle cycle through bitmap+outlinefallback, 
bitmaponly, outlineonly?
