- Some people (Graham Toal, if I remember well) did get very high
- resolution (3000 DPI) CM bitmaps and then outlined them into Type *3*
- format, without any hinting.

- You can find these fonts in a number of places (look fro something
- called 'cmps'), and then you have to find a Type 3 renderer, or convert
- them to Type 1 and add hints.
