1) That print pre-formatting with bitmap fonts is ugly is not being questioned

2) Others have seen ill-effects, just like you, but for the opposite case. This
is why bug 225744 was mentioned several times. I would go through it
thoroughly, seeking to understand the complete context of the 'opposite side of
the argument' that you currently hold, which is to say, what is the nature and
extent of issues when fontconfig defaults to using no-bitmap.conf. 

3) Doing no-bitmap.conf by default has already been attempted once, and it was
reverted. Asking for the same thing again, would also mean taking on the burden
to resolve 'at least' those issues raised the last time it was committed, if
that were possible. Each side arguing why they're case is more important, or
why the opposite case is less important is not a fruitful discussion.

4) We must find a solution, or solutions, if they exist, that are objectively
better than the either/or case. This will be a function of collective
self-motivated effort and research.
