IME, antialiasing don't change the size of text, only the sharpness of edges
(especially scaled edges).  Maybe some software "knows" that with AA,
scaling is more acceptable since the rough edges will be smoothed?  Or
TrueType fonts _are_ supported and those programs have private fonts?

Maybe TT font support will get you infinitely-variable size support, which
seems to be what you're looking for.

might help, if TT isn't supported already.
