Good Day,
I would like to know if there is a way to use one or multiple bitmaps as 'fixed-hinting' for e.g. in 8px and 12px and than interpolate from these steps. What I hope to get is a sharper and more accurate representation of my font in smaller sizes. I'm also a hobbyist Pixel artist so I would create these bitmaps manually in a 3 or 4 greyscale palette, simulating antialiasing.
Thank you for any Hint

That said, you might be interested in checking out this hand–anti-aliased font family of three I made a while back. (Needless to say, there was much squinting. :-)
The zoomed-in 9th frame should give you a good idea though.
Thank you @Hrant P. Papazian I will definitely will have a in-depth look at this font
(opening the image in a new tab helps me with the forced scaling )
