As fonts all of the different sizes and styles was necessary at the same time and freetype2 library to vdr to fasten. This is only with ttf fonts tested .

By default fonts are as FontOsd arialbd.ttf size 16, FontSml arial.ttf size 12 und FontFix courbd.ttf size 15

Very interesting, but what about enhancing the font bitmap structure to carry antialiased fonts, and using FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL ?

cFont::Glyph(unsigned int c) const { [...] error = FT_Render_Glyph( face->glyph, FT_RENDER_MODE_MONO );

I guess this would be fairly trivial to add once FT support is in, by further modifying cBitmap::DrawText(), given some constraints on the OSD palette.
