       | I like the way that the CJK fonts render without anti-aliasing on
       | windows. I want to know why and how to cause windows to render a
       | non-cjk font of my choosing in this aliased style. I am not
       | opposed to hex-editing or otherwise modifying the font if that's
       | necessary. I've never been able to find information bout the
       | mechanism or how it's triggered.
