Comment:

 In BTest-1 hardware, we have to keep the dcon's anti-aliasing disabled,
 since the DCON chip won't run the hardware AA algorithm without requiring
 too high a voltage.

 It turns out, that since bitmap fonts do no software antialiasing on their
 own, that they look particularly ugly on the screens (since AA will inject
 some signal into other pixels).

 Hopefully, the next batch of DCON chips won't have this problem and we'll
 be able to run with AA enabled.  But I really recommend getting rid of the
 bitmap fonts as soon as you can.
