I made an attempt at "manual anti-aliasing" exactly as you described it. 
Check the very bottom of the page at www.cs.mcgill.ca/~dchest/xfthack for
example screenshots.  That approach seems to work much better with serif
fonts and worse with sans-serif ones.

Leaving hinting enabled could yield slightly unexpected numbers of pixel
rows at smaller sizes.  If you aren't calling FT_Load_Glyph with
FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING, try that.
