(re: stuff about renderbands)
The Macintosh program FontSizer uses this technique to get real bitmaps
of Postscript fonts, at any point size.  These let you have readable
fonts at large sizes (Adobe provides bitmaps up to 24 pt, and the Mac
scales them poorly to larger sizes).  The program is apparently very
slow (probably prints 256 pages, and downloads the bitmaps for each
page, for each typeface) but works.
