The forthcoming 1.2 system supports an interlaced workbench screen
through Preferences.  Much like you describe, 2 bit planes, etc.  It
takes up twice the memory of the non-interlaced screen.  The main effect
of this is that everything looks vertically squashed as compared to
the non-intelaced screen.  So a 5x5 or 8x8 font isn't very good looking.
The 1.2 system includes a taller topaz font, I think they call it
11.  Its 8 pixels wide, 11 tall, and looks about as good as the IBM
monochrome display when its hooked up to an IBM-style monochrome monitor.
Unfortunately, Preferences doesn't support this font as an option,  which
is why I wrote my own version of SetFont.
