No, it means that you can provide several FONTs of different sizes, all 
rolled into one FONT structure, so you can select between them by 
setting the 'height' member. They are all bitmap fonts, no actual 
scaled blitting is done.

And no subpixel positioning is done. The aim was to keep it fast, and 
simple. There is antialiasing, however.
