Weird. Do you think it is a bug?

Hmmm.... It ain't indeed accendentally that I prefer the bit mapped one;
the problem with scalable fonts is that they either need to be
anti-aliased, or get unreadable. If you anti-alias them, they look very
estethically, but the font's colour changes from black to grey,
hurting contrast and your reading please. If you disable the
anti-aliasing, the contrast is back but the font suddenly looks rather
ugly compared to the bitmap font.
