1600x1200 is the "native" resolution of my A31p Thinkpad, so it is
optimized for this resolution.

ftview surprisingly displayed the font correclty (without the bytecode
interpreter). Just some fonts at certain sizes were not correct. But now
with the bytecode interpreter enabled, all the fonts look perfect.

Do you know what Thinkpad they have?  My 15" TPA20p LCD has a native
resolution of 1400x1050, and I know there are similarly sized 1600x1200
out there.
