Note: I cannot test with 12x22 fonts in 2.4 because some/most drivers do
not support it.

Which specific drivers are you talking about? All drivers for popular cards
support fontwidth 12 (Matrox, ATI, nVidia, 3Dfx, Permedia, VESA, ...).

You're absolutely correct, I'm wondering why I thought that :-)  Here's
a benchmark for 12x22, and it's 2x slower than 8x16, 2.4.x or 2.5.x. 
Still, the 2.5.x version is slower than 2.4.x.
