The standard ppem of the test font is: 16
The standard string of the test font is:  !"#$%

From the image, it is evident that both FreeType and TD renderer (my own renderer that relies on FreeType but uses my own rasterizer, https://typedesign.netlify.app/tdrenderer.html) are extremely glitchy. It is very important to take research into TrueType rendering to properly simulate the Microsoft bilevel renderer because it would help render fonts correctly. The immense complexity of FreeType's rasterizer is still not enough. What a nightmare!
