LyX must use a two-color rasterization algorithm, no matter how many colors the
screen has?
Reading more about fonts in general just now, it looks like the term I ought to
have been using was not "rasterization algorithm", (which is descriptive
enough), but "anti-aliasing".
So: LyX probably must not contain any anti-aliasing algorithms?
For readers seeking a more impressive vocabulary, (or who know as little about
this topic as me), here are some brief definitions, with pictures and
advertisements:

This next HOWTO probably won't fix LyX, but I have used it for my Debian system
to enhance NetScape's readability. It contains a trick to use Win95 TrueType
fonts in some X apps, like Netscape. Maybe this is treason.
